3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
16 ounce pint - $6.50 at Taco Mac in Buford, Georgia.
Appearance: Served up a clouded, amber-brown body with a thin, wispy, near white head.
Smell: Aroma of generously toasted bread and caramel sauce with a light, spicy-scented yeastiness and background fruitiness.
Taste: Opens with a maltiness tasting of caramel-dunked cinnamon bread. It’s sweet, but not particularly so. Light tangy fruitiness with tastes of apricots, apples, and bananas. Faint bitterness. Late-arriving pop of brown sugar. Body thins out as you near the end. Drying, lightly fruity, lightly spicy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation with a bit of sharpness to it.
Drinkability: A little light when it comes to flavor and complexities, but, considering it’s just a mere 5% ABV, it ain’t half bad.
