ABV: Six percent
Appearance: This brew poured a lightly-colored straw gold. Initially, it was a thin appearance except for the bright white head of foam. It was a thick layer of fluff that eventually caved in on itself and left some clumpy cake-like lacing on the glass innards. There was also a light haze in the body, but less than I expected prior to popping this bottle open. Still, I did notice a bit more as I poured the rest of the bottle out. It seemed to settle down towards the bottom of the bottle.
Smell: Very spicy and peppery. I picked up quite a few layers. Lemon and a citrus zest as well as coriander and a little presence of yeast.
Taste: The first ave of flavor supplied me with some fruity lemon. This was a flavor that transitioned to something a little zestier on the way back. Not sour at all, which I loved. As everything got further back there was plenty of pepper and malt flavors with seemed to include coriander and some allspice. ON the finish there was a tad of mild hop notes.
Overall Rating:
I found it very interesting to experience allspice in a lighter colored beer. I'm used to them in fall seasonal brews, but even if they are usually in lighter wits and hefe's I haven't been able to decipher any of it until this one. Beautiful color and zesty profile. This was a great drink.
Getting Closer - I mentione some number of weeks ago that I intended on changing up how I depict and review brews that I've tried on this blog. I still had to use up the photographs and beers that I've already taken notes on. I'm getting closer to exhausting that backlog of beers. Within a few weeks I should start to roll them out on here. Expect some different angles for the pictures. Maybe even a classic song lyric or movie quote that goes with said brews.
