BS#0121 - Kralito 35

Draft @ the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty spicy grassy hoppy elderflower aroma. Fuity malty spicy grassy elderflower flavor. Has a fruity malty grassy spicy elderflower finish.

Thanks to Kraddel for the bottle. 330 ml. bottle sampled @ home. BBF 08/2017 which is not a great sign knowing their modus operandi. Amber orange, overly big vaguely off-white head. Nose is weirdly very oily with spoiled orange peel, esters, rotting mustard seeds but only because I read the ingredients, BE, esters, weird oily flowers,,… more mellow than any of that sounds. Taste is oily vaguely mustard seeds, no elder flowers, largely just oily low bread, caramel, Belgian, low esters, oily flowers, orange, bit oily bread, naan, oily vegetable dough,… Largely just oily flowers,… Actually surprisingly manageable, fairly passable & I came in with low expectations. Mainly just strange agreeable bready orange & flower almost vegetable oil brew.

Tap at the Brewery. Pours unclear dark amber, huge white head, that is not very stable. Smell is mild malty, very soft hops. Taste is very easy drinkable, gentle and soft. Creamy, some biscuit malts. Mild hop notes. Light, but present bitterness. Easy drinkable, yet enough taste. Very well done, one of their better ones. Both mustard seeds and elderflower aren’t blindly recogniwable to me, which I like, because I had both in beers I did not like before. If that’s the idea about the beer though ( to taste these) they should amp it up a notch. I would prefer it like this, though !
