Soggy Dollar

Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall just off-white head with large bubbles that fades very quickly, like soda. Aroma of syrup, resin, coconuts, light grain, a dash of yeast and some rather strong alcohol and pure caster sugar notes - the tropical fruit does come out, but not very strongly. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong tropical fruits that show bunches of pineapples, coconuts and a heavy yeast presence with a lot of leftover sugars, some lighter grainy malts and a good effervescence. However, after that, the flavours subside and there is only a warming alcohol and malt flavour with some lighter grain and herbal flavours at hte very end. Overall, a relatively straight-forward fruit beer that somehow has masked itself as a Belgian (I don't see it in any respect) ale with a lot of alcohol, but one in which goes down very easily and feels a touch less in ABV - perhaps around 8. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington, Virginia on 15-October-2017 for US$5,99 sampled just over two years later at home in Washington on 11-January-2020.

5.99 bottle from Greenwood Grocery. Pours golden with only a dusting of a head. Aroma is stone fruit, light spice, grasses. Flavor is overripe stone fruit, nutmeg, pineapple, coconut, grass. Surprisingly underwhelming

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Hazy yellow, thin fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of pineapple, coconut, spice, bready malt. The taste is pina colada, pineapple, coconut, citrus, spice, pale malt. Medium bodied, interersting.
