Cloudy golden appearance. 1cm white foam. Big lack of hops strike immediately in the nose, but the heavy fruity character compensate. Pineapple and grainy malts are a good match, the light lactic bite seems to fit well with the lemony fruit salad notes. Estery on the tongue, fruit salad and banana tartish tones. There really is a big hop issue, where are they? We’re left with astringent yogurty tartness... Fortunately, the mouthfeel is excellent, highly foamy, explosive palate.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream colored head. Light malt and light spice aroma. Spice, yeast, and light malt flavor. Medium bodied. Yeast, earth, and spice lingers with light malt. Light Indian spices throughout.

draft @ brewpub. Clear amber. Very thick, lasting head. Lots of flowers but also has diacetyl. Ugh. Slick palate. Buttery :( Some smokiness in the palate. Soapiness. Clashing flavors. Finishes with overwhelming butterscotch. Too bad about that.

Draft@ Elysian Feilds. Clear amber with an off white head. Yeasty, spicy, pale grainy malt aromas. Medium body with a rich smooth mouthfeel. Lightly sweet pale grainy malt flavors with spices, peppercorn, earthy cucumber, Enjoyed this one.

Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells of floral hops, dry malt, some funky hints. Tastes funky and dry with a ice perfumy finish. Straight forward and very enjoyable.

On Tap At Elysian Fields Seattle. Pours out a dark copper/gold topped with a sand head. Aroma was of spice, belg yeast and sweetness. Taste was of fruit sweetness along with some floral notes.

Rattle’n’Hum: Elysian does florals very well, period. And this is a good example of that floral aroma/ taste usage. Pours and mild hazy copper, white wet head. Fruity sugars, balanced by the medium carbonation and soft but noticeable alcohol.

Draft @ Rattle n Hum nyc. Nice aroma of wild berrys and notes of yeast. Noticable alc in the taste. Good

Draft at RNH. Pours an orange y body with a white head. Citrus and floral hoppiness. Citrus and lemon grass and some candy like sweetness. Not bad.
