Edenton Joseph Hewes Revolutionary Ale

bottle. murky yellow body with small particles afloatin’. small white head. decent lacing. aromas of caramel and some light hops. flavor is light and easy to drink. actually much better than expected.

Hmph. You’d think a beer named after a historical figure would have more character, or would at least be palatable. This is mostly ass, I must say. Gold and mildly hazy on the pour, with a ripe yeasty aroma that promises good things. But this one is either way past its prime or just, well, ass.

The first time I cracked one of these open it sucked frankly. However, i was looking in one of the remaining bottles and realized that there was some sediment in there that i dumped in last time. So, round two. Pours a thick golden brew. Definitely some chacater to it, sort of hazy. not bad. The head is hard to get if you pour carefully enough not to stir up that stuff. Thin and white, not bad. The aroma is sort of ill begotten. Sort of sour (bad), some hop bite, mainly just this funky smell. Unfortunately the taste suffers the same fate. Just weird. The palate has an interesting twang to it, but not enough to be like "wow, thats good". The finish is just there, nothing to be said about it. Overall it just tastes weird. Not complex, just like it went bad (maybe/hopefully it has).

Trade from Ross. Glugs out of the bottle and still no head. Color is a golden color with lots of sediment that leads to the haziness. Aroma is slight caramel malt, faint not much else going in the aroma or in the taste. Maybe a slight fruitness in the taste. Bleh.

Bottle. Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is caramel, allspice, and cookies. Flavor is malt, slightly bitter and pine. Watery.
