Cloudy amber, off white head.
Scent is caramel, pepper.

Like it’s lemon wood sister, this is just addditives piled on top of a mediocre brew.
AND slightly less pleasant.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Black pepper and cedar aroma. Golden with a small white head. Stale black pepper and cedar flavor. Please don’t send hate mail. This was a truly horrible experience for me. The cedar turpenes literally burned my tongue, which was still tender the next morning, as if I had eaten raw garlic.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pepper, lemon and strong cedar aroma - like an old cedar chest. Golden yellow with no head. Sweet cedar, strong black pepper and malt flavor. I could handle this better than the lemon wood but the cedar seem to overwhelm every other flavor in this beer besides the black pepper.

On tap. Pours cloudy - close to opaque - with a small off-white head leaving laces. Mmmm, distinct cedar in the nose - love it. Medium body, very dry and very tart lemony accents, minerally even salty and again thick cedar notes. Pungent, astringent finish. I really, really dig the cedar aroma, but combined with the tart fruit makes this a very challenging and difficult beer to drink. But very interesting indeed. 240512
