(Oxfam Blond). Bottle. A - Light golden with a large foamy white head. Normal retention but a limited lacing left over. Lots of sediment. S - Lots of spice (clove, coriander, and pepper) with a bit of citrus. Sweet smell too. T - Lots of interesting flavors that are fairly unique. Good amount of grain that provides a good deal of sweetness. Rice and quinoa providing a lot of that. Good amount spice (same as nose). Really unique flavors and combination of the flavors. M - Light to medium body with decent carbonation. A little watery. D - I don’t think my palate would enjoy more than one as it isn’t the most balanced beer. Spices and sweetness grew a bit heavy and a little tiresome. Notes: Really interesting and unique beer. While it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great. It’s probably worth a try if you have a chance and want to try something new and different, also it helps a good cause. That said, I probably won’t be buying another one.
