Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 6/21/17.
Deep auburn-and-amber body shows moderately-low clarity and a dark beige head atop with moderate to moderately retention.
Brown bread-like specialty malts, dotted with light caramel-toffee, face down strong grapefruit and pine while a bit of a reprieve comes via light pineapple and peach-like fruitiness. Some alcoholic esters keep things mostly sharp, though, despite the heavy showing of specialty malt, and tons of red fruits mixing with more bread and light caramel show forth on the finish. The plasticy yeast, or old/stale/off hop note (whichever it is) is highly present here and dulls things considerably.
Strong in the mouth, it’s plasticy and dry on the finish, too much so, with too much hop acidity and scratchy specialty malts pitted against fleetingly fruity hops and only a smattering of light honey-caramel-like sweetness. Carbonation is at least fairly tight/engaging and there’s some semblance of malt texture, but it’s just too dry and sharp on the finish, all exacerbated by whatever this strange, plasticy off-note is that was present in all three of the beers I tried of theirs tonight. It was so pervasive that all of their beers seemed to run together and taste the same; so dominant was it. Will revisit some batches down the road and see if they’ve cleaned it up.

Tallboy can shared at the December MDF tasting. Hazy orange, thin fizzy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, earthy hops. The taste is herbal, earthy hops and caramel. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness.
