Hazy dark amber. Strange, almost sake-like koji aroma (which admittedly blows off after a couple of minutes) with a very pungent herbal quality (bog myrtle, gooseberries, coriander seed, sage)...weird as hell. Strong, dry, with a hint of acidity and lots of herbal character (mainly bog myrtle, maybe a bit more of the coriander). Dry, alcoholic finish but I’d say the 15% is probably overstated...more like 9-10% to me. What’s not to like? This is pretty good gruit and that kiss of acidity makes all the difference.
