Draught at Picco, early July 2017.
Moderately hazy, maize-golden body is well-carbonated creating a small but fairly dense, white head that shows moderately-strong retention.
Juicy mango, pineapple and meyer lemon in the nose are backed by soft, biscuity and honey-filled malts. Light peppery spice and fresh, lightly dank greenery on the end help perk things up and provide more depth than the tropical and lightly citric fruits show up front. Very clean, with no alcohol, flaw and very little resin.
Juicy pineapple and meyer lemon mixes with leafy, lime zest and vegetal greenery. Black pepper, and light grains in the background providing some complexity in the texture with the main force of the malt being soft and well-attenuated, adding gentle sweetness. Tight carbonation and low resin. Gets pretty full-bodied with lots of malt and bready texture as it warms, but due to the dryness and elegance of the hop treatment, it never gets fatiguing nor does the alcohol come through overtly or sharply. I think I liked Pieces of Eight a little more, but this was excellent in its own right. When Foley Bros beers are on, as this one is, they come off much lighter than their abv would suggest and with bright, highly aromatic hop characteristics.

Tasting at SF; 9.5% ABV
Dark brown color. Soapy and boozy aroma of roasted malts. The body is off dry, the flavor is a bit chocolatey, a bit earthy, with strong alcohol feeling. Good.

Tap. Pours lightly hazy pale golden, small white head, great lacing. Aroma is Citra, dank and tropical, hints of armpit, pine, melon. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter, low malt. Medium light body, a bit creamy and yet a touch lacking in body. Nice.

Dark brown. With a thin head. Ok, there’s some coffee on the nose, but with some chocolate...it’s ok impy, the coffee is noticeable but somewhat innocuous. Nothing wrong with it, but not exciting me either.
