4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/2075cl at home while studying. Cork pops out on its own as soon as the cage is off. Pour is a very slightly hazy light gold, with a billowing white head that compacts to almost a whipped egg white cap. Aroma is some crisp malt, floral and spicy hop and yeast character. Light white fruit. Taste is quite similar, with perhaps more fruit. Lots of floral character, with a white pepper spice finish. Fair amount of yeast character. Mouthfeel is spritzy and intensely dry. Very, very nice beer, not a ton of the funky complexities in a young bottle such as this one....guess that means I have to dig up an old rate or just buy more to hide away!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from bottle that I bought probably a year ago or so, finally getting around to drinking it, pours a cloudy yellowish orange with a really thick white head and a sticky lacing in the glass, aroma had a little more skunk than I was expecting but has some nice fruit and barnyard as well, as it warmed the skunk went away more and the fruit came through, the flavor has a yeasty front end with a little bit of funk and barnyard in the finish, dry through out, personally I thought it improved the more that it warmed up, solid beer for it’s style.
