Lightly hazy light amber colour. Apple juicy aroma with some light, stale hops. Moderate bitterness, lightly fruity. Flat body hurts. Somewhat woody. My guess is wormwood, because it has a punchier bitterness than any regular Steamworks beer, but I didn’t smell any additional hopping. I do not believe they brewed a special batch of anything because I was there last week and they’re running beyond capacity with just their current lineup. Plus, it would be pretty cheeky to do a wormwood beer after the Storm one at the last cask fest, but cut the dosage tenfold to make something drinkable. So that’s my theory and I look forward to hearing from Conrad on Monday as to what this really was.
