mtoast (287), Carnegie, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 19, 2007 750mL, 6%abv, estimated age is around 8 months old, consumed on 7/19/07. Bottle opens with a pop and surging foam, fuck where did I put my glass, oops little bit of foam on the floor, holy overcarbonated mess batman!! After the initial shock wares off, the abundant foam subsides into a pale hazy, whoa, slightly chunky, are those sea monkeys? Nevermind. Huge stark white foam with nice stickiness. Aroma is full of tropical fruits with some spicy undertones. Flavor is something akin to pureed granny smith apples. Crap, the second pour evolves into a catastrophic eruption of foamy goodness all over my damn desk. Yep, french waterfall onto the floor, hope the dogs like apples. Damn sea monkeys are taunting me now. I remember this beer being better about 6 months ago, but damn if I was a non-rating SOB then, so ptthhht.
