$4 single from Appalachian. Pint glass at home. Somewhat hazy, pale straw, lingering froth. Subtle, soft floral, whip cream nose. Creamy, savory, semi-sweet malt, sugar cookie, pollen, lacking strong phenols, like peel finish. Some regurgitated bitterness after the fact. Mellow, suddy, light acid, cleaner than average finish. Meh.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is bitter bakers chocolate and a slight roast. Flavor is a thick caramel malt with some hop bitterness and I do get some on the oak after the swallow. This is probably how old world beers tasted before being brewed in steel vessels. Pretty good.

The last of my Secret Santa stash. Thanks Santa! Mojito glass @home after a few months of sleep in the cold basement. Every slightly hazy, golden, light but constant froth. Earthy, soggy wheat, strong & sweet lemon with a faint bit of ginger & a slight inviting twang on the end of the sniff. Taste is sharp lemon tea, Lemon Head sweetness, white grape, white peach, itchy wheat, moderate & approachable funk. Sulfite headache. Low carb, medium high acid. A Witbier in name only. Tasty.

Can, undated, drunk 3/5/24. Copper with light ruby accents. Small, beige head, quickly to sparse cover. Base malt galore adding honey and mixing with the medium malts to add a pinch of caramel and ebullient red fruit character. Clean with herbal, earthy and spicy hops all quite lightly apparent, the greater force being malt and yeast. Odd that this is the same process (coolshipped, open fermented) as the Pils and Helles I just had from them, but has none of the cellar must qualities. Or are they just covered up by the extra malt? Either way, it's much less thin than either of those too. Not thin at all, in fact, with plentiful malt and good attenuation. Lingering spice, herbs, rich melanoidin mixed with honey-like maltiness. Clean and incredibly drinkable. Could see it being a bit more snappy/dry on the finish, even.
