3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampler on tap. Pours a hazed golden with a healthy khaki head. Aromas of lemon, grass, cloves, spicy peppery yeast, some honey and ginger, even a meaty quality. Taste is pretty sweet with a touch of bitterness and tartness. Palate is fuller, toward syrupy with some heat and a lingering tart finish. An interesting brew for sure with its own thing going on. Not sure I could do more than maybe a 6 ounce pour, but certainly worth a try.

The beer pours a golden-orange color with a white head. The aroma is full of boozy wheat, with some orange citrus notes thrown in. The flavor is very similar. I get orange and coriander up front, with a strong wheat backbone. There is also a good amount of bubblegum, which I assume is from the yeast. The alcohol is also very noticeable. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Aroma is similar to a Double Witbier while the flavor is less spicy and more citrus and sweetness.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pour out of 375 mL bottle is hazy orange with clear white head, aroma is, damn, sour. Big lactic lemon and some slight funk, hints of slight vinegar, toffee, hints of biscuit. Taste is lemony sour funk, with hints of acetic acid, some slight funk, and a hint of caramel, finishing fairly sour. Will rerate with a better bottle, but this is very clearly infected.

375 c&c from Half Time. 2011 bottle. Pours hazy light amber with a slight creamy beige head. The first aroma suggestion is bacon. ? Goes on to pepper and banana. ? Full bodied. Flavor is banana, melon and pepper. The mouth feel is rather lush. It’s sweet, but there’s bitter on the tongue edges. And pepper is ever lurking. This is tasty, but really complex. An adventure worth taking.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks Oren. Murky golden. Yeasty aroma with some decent fruity esters, a bit of spiciness and a bit of alcohol. Sweet flavor with some malt, fruits and a drier finish, a bit of alcoholic and a bit spicy and hoppy. Medium-bodied. OK.
