ToolHead (244) - København, - JUN 11, 2010
Tap at Mikkeller Bar. Dusty pale gold with nice, long-lived head. Intensely bright and crisp with loads of lemon, resin and pot. Dry, bitter, tart and insanely drinkable. Unlike anything else ever.

Den här ölen lever och frodas i citrus arom och smak. Att dricka den här ölen är som att äta ett helt apelsinträd, det blir, minst sagt, lite för mycket i slutändan. Men det här är en spännande, intressant och lite enformig öl. Slutsats: citrus!

(Draught) Pours a cloudy dirty yellow body with a tall dense off-white head. Aroma of vanilla, wood, lime, peach, and lemon. Flavor of vanilla, wood, lactic, and lime mélange pie.

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Cloudy deep blond color. Fruity, citrusy aroma, with a touch of bergamot and lemon peel; followed by light manure too, and pond water.
Medium bodied, but somehow lighter than expected; citrusy flavor, but the light lactic tartness doesn’t match very well.
Strong bitterness, with a citrusy and dry final, a bit astringent, probably better than the rest.
Refreshing, interesting, but strange.

On tap at Eulogy during RBSG. Pours a hazed gold with a medium to large creamy white head. Big sweet lemon peel and pith on the nose. Super sweet, lemony pith and lots of bitter lemon peel. Very grassy. Very interesting with a ton of citrus and a nice cool lemon grass note. I personally liked it, but I would say that it’s certainly tough to love, and I can definitely see why people don’t like it and why it’s so divisive. Absolutely spot on though for what it’s supposed to be. Well done.

On tap at the Farmer’s Cabinet, PA. Poured a cloudy yellow color with a small sized head. Aromas of lemons and citrus. Tastes of lemons, citrus, and some floral/grassiness. On the sweeter side with a lighter tartness.

TURDFERGUSON (2759) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - JUN 9, 2011
Tap at Farmers Cabinet. Pretty nice, lots of lemon, some light sorachi, citrus. Juicy, but restrained. Im a lover of all things lemon, this could have been a little tarter and a little less sweet but it was pretty good.

Tap at Eulogy. Aroma is quite hoppy. The flavor didn’t match up with this nose at all: cloying of butterscotch and toasted coconut with a hint of pickles. There is a sharp hop bite at the very end. I could imagine someone loving this, but it was a bit nauseating for me.
