3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Stemware sampler at local beer seminar. Poured a cloudy, gold/amber, with a bubbly, off white ring of head and some fair lacing. Aroma was spices and sweet fruit. The flavor was a little grainy, with spice, sweet fruit and some nice dryness/bitterness. The mustard seed contribution escaped me.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Marmalade pour hanging with bits and lacing miraculously at the strength. Beautiful appetising citrus notes leaking from a dense but subsiding white collar; tangerine, juniper, celery, lime pickle. Certainly something herbal, sweet and sourish there I wouldn’t have identified as mustard; dill or horseradish, maybe. Alcohol completely secondary to the hop citrus, candy and gelatinous tang. Milky slick in the mouth, alcohol immediately apparent, blending into soapy citrus, almost grapefruit in the finish. Ends up lean and dry for the style and strength, dangerously so. A couple of pints of this seems perfectly feasible. Golden Ale Eisbock. Hops tanging and intact, some late biscuity malts chipping in. Resins and ethanol in every swill. Good sessions beer.
