From notes taken while drinking from the tap at the brewery. Aroma is a bit odd. Some over ripe stone fruit and red apple with a bit of peppery phenolic notes. Light yeast character. Phenolics border on poopy. A bit grassy as well. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a moderate white head that exhibits good retention and moderate lacing. Flavor has nice light malt notes and a touch of sweetness. Light stone fruit and red apples. Moderate phenolic and woodsy note. Fairly strong and somewhat harsh bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low, but present astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but the bitterness is harsh. The beer is also too woodsy and a touch poopy. Not what I was expecting from a SARA beer.
