tderoeck	3.3 Ritual / Bottle Logic Matter of Habbit 23/II/19 - 1Pt. can from a trade (bought at San Diego Wine and Beer Co.), shared @ 1st Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (formerly known as Belgian Ratebeer Gathering), BB: n/a, no dates on the can, marked as “new” in the shop - (2019-308) Thanks to Surya for the trade! Clear orange beer, big creamy irregular off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very soapy, floral, slightly fruity, pretty oxidized, vanilla. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of tropical fruits, mango, bit cheesy, sweet, alcoholic, citrus touch, lactose? Aftertaste: hoppy, bitter, dry, lots and lots of alcohol, sugary touch, very bitter finish. Not very complex, and again the feeling this wasn’t the freshed ever… This is why a canning date should be obligatory. Monday, June 3, 2019

stevoj	3.7 Ritual Extra Red Bottle from BevMo Santa Rosa. DArk, clear amber, one finger creamy head. Aroma is pretty weak, mostly malts.
