Serving Type: BottleABV: 5.5 percent
Appearance: This brew boasted a vivid golden color once I poured it. A thin layer of fluffy head appeared almost immediately. It was white and I noticed some hay-colored hues as well. I also picked out some beady trails of carbonation bubbles that look like a small school of fish as well as a hazy body. Both say that there is a hefty amount of yeast and sediment present in the beer. Not really a shocker as it says "bottle conditioned ale" right on the label.
Smell: This was quite fruity and estery. Credit should have gone to the yeast for that. There was also a mild floral hop nose.
Taste: The yeast once again came to the forefront. The fruity and estery profile hit me not long after that. The fruity flavor seemed to resemble some lemon that tasted moreso sweet than sour. Definitely a plus. It transitioned to a malty and peppery flavor towards the back of my tongue. I seemed to gather that the peppery flavors were both coriander and allspice. The finish was light, brisk with a minimal hop bite.
Overall Rating:
I had a beer quite similar to this in Indigo Imp Blonde Bombshell a good while ago that was also a bottle conditioned brew. Similar colors and fruity and estery profiles. This one had a few more layers of taste in the flavor department, though. The fruit and spices were clearly differentiated and everything seemed to play off of each other amazingly.
