3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the source. Pours with a clear bronze to copper colored body with a small off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, light diacetyl, fruity and a bit of a papery note. Flavors of pear and other fruit esters, paper, grainy, and caramel. Medium to light bitterness, with very little hop flavor. Medium dry finish. The papery note (which I normally associate with hot side aeration or poor malt quality) detracts from the beer.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at the Jupiter brewpub some years ago. Decent dark brown colour, again no head as they want to fill the glass up and not be seen to "rip off" customers with lousy head! Yeah, that’s all head is, a ripoff.... pft, Americans. But anyways, there was plenty of malt on the tongue and not enough aroma as it was chilled too extensively. Another simple brew that lacks complexity, but goes well with pizza. Well, what can I say - Try Jupiter’s pizza.
