3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft into a 20-oz. glass at The Library Sports Grille & Brewery in Laramie, Wyo., on Nov. 23, 2012 for ?????. Cloudy honey orange with 1 ½ fingers of khaki white head that stayed around for quite some time. Good thick retention all-around.
Smelled honey, sweet sugary floral hops, pale wheat malts and slight lemon grass.
Tasted honey, rye, skunky malts, lemon, floral hops with a big bitter finish.
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt bitter finish.
A good beer to start out with, which turned into three more. Was tempted to up the ratings on a few of the categories now that I’m looking at it two days later, but I need to keep it the way it was.
