On tap at Toronado. Hazy golden color with a nice white head. Yeasty and herbal aroma with spice and some hay. Pale malt base with herbs - maybe oregano? - and some earthy notes. Medium-bodied with above average carbonation and a tingly mouthfeel. Good but not really my style.

On tap at Toronado. Pours blonde with an off-white head and a fruity aroma. I don’t usually like gruit, but this one is very nice. Just the right amount of bitterness and a refreshing malt flavor.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 drowland (3900) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - APR 16, 2012
4/16/12. 750mL bottle labeled "Posca Rustica." Hazy orange pour with a nice, fluffy off-white head that sticks and laces plenty. Funky, floral, and yeasty aroma with touches of tartness and some sort of spice that reminds me of cumin. Refreshing flavor that is less tart than the aroma leads on, but with nice funkiness, sweet floral aspects, and some residual sweetness, surprisingly. Tasty.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 rbrazell (362) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - APR 14, 2012
2011 bottle. Pours a slightly hazy deep gold with foamy white head that fades to a ring. Aroma is grainy malts, bread, hints of citrus, some spice character and hay. Pale malts upon the entry quickly drying up into some cheese and earthiness with spices finishing out the beer. Solid mouth feel and some noticeable alochol notes in the end. Overall it’s pretty rustic (name implies) and tasty for a warm Florida night.

Whole Foods P St DC 750 ($12): Pours a slightly hazy yellow/orange with a white head. Aroma is of Earthiness, le funk, kind of skunkiness, yeast, and fruit. Taste is on the sweet side. There is a whole lot of earthiness, a wee bit of astringency, and some ambiguous uncut funk. Good mouthfeel. Alcohol is completely covered. Also a few dry notes are extant. I would have no idea I am drinking an 8 percenter. Leaves your mouth feeling dry and a bit parched. Loads of herbs. A solid beer. I would say this is weird, but I am a bit jaded.
