Keg at the Blue Moon, Cambridge. Cola brown, vaguely translucent, and as flat as I’ve ever seen on keg. Hoppy enough, but the two most recognisable scents are chestnut and litter box. Not as bad as I’ve made it sound, but not great either. Taste is bittersweet, slightly hoppy, slightly syrupy, slightly nutty. Thin, flat body. It started terribly and grew on me, but this is far from what TBM are capable of producing. A BIPA by the skin of its teeth, its no hop monster but rather an enigmatic, confused and frankly messy beer with good elements that shoot out but don’t dominate. Its complexity is less like Boulez and more like a third-rate prog rock outfit. Don’t avoid, but proceed with caution.
