Capped 750 from the Folsom BevMo. Pours clear copper with some bubbly white head. Aroma is a bit suggestive of cola. Hard to dissect. Med body. Flavor is malty, somewhat sweet, with arguably noble hops. It moves towards bitter, and seems a little grassy earthy. It is somewhat spicy. It certainly isn’t what I expect in the style, but at 9% what should one expect? Certainly a little malt. Heat’s not an issue. It gets a bit herbal. As time goes on I think I may consider it balanced. And there’s some sort of woody/moldy aspect coming out. Don’t mean that in a bad way. Everything about this beer is "different", but it appeals to me. Maybe this was a collaboration with those brewers from Epic in Seattle. :)
