Draught at the Fermentaria, 8/27/16.
Another heavily hazy, approaching soupy, golden-lemon-rind colored beer with a medium-sized white head atop, showing moderate retention.
Juicy, grassy, spicy and only moderate citric notes in the nose show peach, orange juice and pineapple, with strong biscuity malts behind it. I wouldn’t call it a juice bomb, on account of the dry, grainy malt, but it’s certainly headed that way. I do appreciate the graininess of the malt, however, as it adds a crisp, balancing element without having to use a ton of hop bitterness. I’d also like to point out that this is all cascade hops. Absolutely wild. Chalk me up as being very shocked. No alcohol or flaw.
Good malty texture and tight carbonation with a chewy rye character to it and lots of grain and spice. Fruitiness is high and the hops add plentiful orange juice, lemon rind, peach and light pineapple. There’s certainly no lack of flavor here and it doesn’t seem thin or watered down. Good dryness and yet maltiness at the same time, with biscuity malts and chewy rye notes. Low to moderate bitterness with no alcohol, resin or flaw.
