Coney Island Albino Python

Bottled. The label looks dangerous - the beer in the glass also - unclear yellow with a thin white head. The aroma has strong notes of ginger and fruit as well as light notes of citrus and wheat. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of ginger, lemongrass, citrus, wheat, and malt, leading to a bitter and dry wheaty finish where the note of ginger lingers. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Well, it looks like what it is - a lager, with straw colour, and a witbiery haze. Orange, coriander nose with lemon zest and bready pale malts. Very lemon/lime zest flavour. Tangy. Pithy bitterness, probably too much. Some orangey hop notes, doughy pale malts. Interesting brew, but for me some balance issues with too much of the wrong kind of bitterness, overly harsh spicing, and weak malts that couldn’t hope to back it all up.
