19 September 2022. At Chicago Brewhouse Riverwalk. Shared with the lovely Anke!
Hazy red, thin, off-white head. Aroma of unripe strawberry, cassis, redcurrant, banana peel, wheat, kitchen herbs. Taste has sweetish strawberry & cassis, sourish wheat, bitter berry peel & basil branches. Tart, red-fruity finish, lingering strawberry, jam & herbs, bit perfumey. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Works surprisingly well, for once.
