1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Faint sweetly floral, earthy, musty and citric aroma, some flat, dusty grains amidst the lightly fruity hops. Opaque dirty medium orange color with a subsiding, off-white head. Lots of particulates which I chose to leave in the bottle. Flavor is rather oddly constructed, with a grainy, lifeless sweetness throughout, blended with a slight amount of bitterness and a vague dried, leafy, herbal hop character, leading to a dry, watery finish and leaving a somewhat chalky feel behind. Body is thin and dull as is the palate. I wonder if this isn’t a bit overaged, but the bottle shows no indication one way or the other. The drain got the remainder of this sample.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
aroma is decent breadiness hidden beneath a pile of crushed asprin. appearance is murky gold with zilch head and moderate lacing. flavor is strong ginger like flavor with more fresh bread and a dose of something more rotten, hops are unable to shine through this mess. what a strange beer.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
very hazy orange pour with a thick white head.
Aroma is light sweet biscuity malt with an herbal hop and green tea presence.
Tea flavours feature prominently and covers up a lot of the malt sweetness at first, though some breadlike sweetness is in there somewhere.
Also a light herbal hoppiness and a kind of chalky mouthfeel to the finish.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Murky orange pour with white ring of head around the glass. Herbal, sweet aroma. Flavor isn’t as sweet: has a malty biscuity taste with light medicinal bitterness and odd herbal note. Odd yeast characteristics. KInd of flat. No real hops. This beer was like drinking some random concoction some strange relative made you to make you feel better when you’re sick.
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
12oz bottle. Pours a murky peach color with no head, ugly. Aroma is oddly sweet, some biscuits and crackers. Flavor is salty... blech... spat it out.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Orange and cloudy with creamy off white head. Aroma is sweeter grain and biscuit malt with that same sand creek house smell. Flavor is light hops and medicinal with some chalk. Light and chalky body. Bleh.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Hazy, orange, yellow-tan color with moderate off-white head. Aroma is earthy; grass, hopps, and some sweetness. Taste is flat and somewhat bitter; hopps, malt and some citurs, possibly some ’green tea’ flavor.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle. Opaque orange-tan color, foamy off white head. The aroma is strong and certainly unique, some earthy floral hops doused in a herbal green tea. Medium body, with some earthy, flowery hop character and an odd lemon-lime tea taste on top of the toasty malt. Some English IPA qualities, but pretty much a unique concoction. Doesn’t exactly work out so well, but the bottle hardly wreaks of freshness either. OK at best.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dead aromas, faint leafy herbal nose. Tannic bitterness that doesn’t have much malt to balance it. Bleh.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a cloudy dirty blonde color with no head. Faint lacing. Aroma is toasted malt and esters. Flavor is quite odd. It does kinda taste like tea. Weird. It’s not very bitter. Not getting much of the three C’s hops. A different beer for sure. Thanks Bill.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Deep amber colored body with a lightly off white head. I poured carefully, but saw some floaters that did not go anywhere. The aroma has notes of soapy lemons and grass. There is also some nasty cologne and musk. The taste was bitter with almond shells and some orange peels.The hops used in this have a lightly soapy quality. A light and relatively bland beer that still somehow offends.
