Bottle from T’s in Tempe, AZ. Light amber color with a foamy beige head. Grassy/fruity hop aromas. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. It’s not all that bitter, but it has the malt balanced by noble? hop. Finishes astringent. Another unique brew. Are not they all?

Bottle (thanks mom!). Golden with a big white head that diminishes slowly - looks pretty good! Aroma is rather grainy with a bit of hoppy notes and maybe some grassy hints. Sweetish flavor with a rather bitter finish with some hops and metallic hints. Light to medium body. Pretty clean and drinkable.

Green bottle. Aroma of grassy hop backed by a bit of sweet malt. Brassy gold color with a pretty good size white head. Thin to medium body with coarsely creamy carbonation. Good feel. Flavor is grass and floral hop over biscuit. Not exactly crisp, but it seems clean. Finish is more bitter than sweet. Goes down well after 4 hours mucking about in the yard.

Strong bouqet of grain, honey, and skunk. Cloudy amber color, thin head, nice. Dry barley taste, weak but noticeable hops. Subtle sweet corn finish. If only macros could meet this standard, I’d have a lot more disposable income.

Undated bottle drunk on 8/10/06.
Medium-high to high clarity in this bronze/tan-tinted dark brown beer. Some light burgundy tresses when held to the light. Off-white/beige head is initially retained at about one-finger, but rapidly fades to a ring, with fizzy carbonation running about in the liquid. No lacing.
Oxidation, DMS, soggy, nutty, stale malts, some light metallic character and plenty of pasteurization in the nose. So that’s nice. Zippy bitterness on the end, but it almost seems more carbonic and artificially derived, not very hop-like. Some soft brown sugar notes, rather putrid toffee/caramel and almost no yeast apparency, perhaps some acetyldehyde. Well, that will be about enough of that.
The flavor is somewhat oxidized, with a cardboard flavor. Sickly sweet, almost syrupy, underattenuated malt sugars are simple and find no balance. My friend mentioned the whole tea aspect, so it’s funny that other people saw that, and that certainly is a note I find in many dunkels. This however, is just flawed on many levels, showing very poor lagering time. Mouthfeel is fizzy, then watery (apart from the syrupy sweetness). Some light yeast dryness on the end, but it’s a last ditch effort and quite failed. No alcohol apparency. To the drain with you.

Bottled. Clear golden, brief head. Neutral aroma. Medium sweet with some papery malt but near no bitterness. Not very interesting.
