3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From notes: Poured hazy orange-amber with no head to speak of. Aroma was sweet, somewhat honey-like, with light spice notes (nutmeg?) mixed in. Medium-bodied, medium depth. Lemony taste, reminiscent of tea. Light spice notes come into play as it warms.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. My dumb ass was expecting something like a kellerbier, so I was a bit disappointed on first sip. Pours amber with an off white head. Light fruity aroma, with coriander, other spices, and a hint of apple. The flavor has a pale malty base, light spices, some sweet fruity notes, and light floral hops. Pretty good.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Paradiso Dupont thanks to Travlr. Hazed, deep unfiltered cider pour with little head formation. Mostly deep cider brown SRM with rose highlights. Lots of acid protein cut creating quick head dissipation. Clovey, mild funk nose with nice Christmas spices, fresh tamarind, and Kaffir lime. Taste starts very light and tart with cinnamon Graham crackers and a hint of acetic heat. Very clean refreshing palate. Mildly sour with muted kriek funk. Soft acidity and tart red cherries. Great stuff if perhaps unintentional. Feels like a soft kriek lambic of sorts. Great stuff!
