Can in a trade with tfontana.Thanks Tom. Riding the line of freshness with this one. Ha ha ha ha. No not really. 6-10-19. Interesting hop combo. Flavor is white grape, light floral, and displays a nice wheaty backbone. Pretty mellow with soft flavors. A tad better then I thought it would be.

Can pour into pub glass. Appearance is cloudy yellow-light brown with no sparkle, thin ring of off-white head. Aroma is musty clothes hamper, a grape/brut/wine quality with yeast hint that borders on bile. Taste is as aroma. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, I'm not feeling the dishrag/hamper quality of aroma and flavor so not great for me, but Relic is not afraid to experiment and consistently puts out beers that aren't run of the mill. Sooner or later it's going to all come together beautifully.
