- Tasting Notes
- Malt sweetnes from the crystal overtaken quickly by rye with hints of citrus.
At six months in the bottle this is a fantastic beer, competition level good. Being a pale ale, it isn't overpowering and is on par or better than anything commercial I've tried.
A: Golden amber with an off white creamy head. Tight bubbles, impressive lacing.
S: Fresh tangerines with a hint of pine and grass.
T: Malt and slight sweetness from the crystal overtaken quickly by rye with hints of citrus and grass. Finish is more rye followed by a citrus splash that's fantastic and a pleasant bitterness that lingers a bit.
M: Medium body creaminess, slightly dry.
O: If you like something a little out of the ordinary give this a try. At a month in the keg this was a good beer. I got very positive feedback from my friends and a couple strangers at a party who tried it, but at six months in the bottle it's a much more refined beer. If your looking for a beer to bottle and put away for a rainy day this is it. Only changes I would make to the recipe is to maybe increase the grains to give me a higher ABV since it will be sitting so long anyways.
