On draught at the brewpub, August 2005 in a 10.5 oz snifter. By the time it made its way to the table, if there ever was any head, it was gone. There was a bit of whispy, white foam on the edges. Beer was thick-looking, syrupy, hazy but not much carbonation rising within. Smells sharp and acidic, with almost mead-like honey warmth, lots of fresh coriander, moderate yeastiness and some lemons. Flavor is very dry and very yeast driven. Chewy and thick on the malt, though this dosent exactly translate to the consistency, as it gets a little watery after warming some. Fresh green coriander, lots of it, plenty of yeast and white pepper-doughiness. Lemon peel, and lots of lingering acidity, with light bubble gum suggestions. Carbonation is very low, probably too low, as it could stand a bit more livliness (sp?). A pretty standard offering of this style which seems to be greatly growing in popularity here in the East. Neither brutish nor particularly elegant. Alcohol is well-concelaed, however.
