I rushed this one a bit. Mom wanted me to pay the bill & get out of here. Half pour, a sip & a couple hard chugs. Clear, if greasy, medium gold. Acidy floral, lightly snappy nose. Frothy, chalky, lingering acidity, a touch cabbage-y sweet. Maybe too fresh? Okay.

Mostly clear, frothy, iced tea pour. Lemon tea, mellow macerated sangria, light floral, obvious Brett at the door. Light twang, lemon, papaya, orange spice, leathery Brett. Thin, frothy, cool. Good++.

Clear, amber, sticky pour at the source w/mom still sipping on her flight. I thought this would be Celebration-ish, but it wasn't all that much. Strong & inviting floral note with a touch of ....what is that funk?. Taste is sweet cereal with some catty hops & sweaty floral. I think there's some free infection here that's doing some good in the short term. Liked.

In it to win it with mom. looking forward to this one. Hazy pale gold. Obvious Brett nose. Like it. Gentle grape funk, vanilla breakfast cereal; complex. Minor twangy, kinda low acid, soft constant carb, frothy till the end. Muscadines are potent. Fun.

Full pour at the source while mom decides what she wants in her flight. Frothy, darker then usual pour. Earthy, potato, weak floral, saline. Sooty, smooth, untoasted brown bread, cream, mellow hop bite. Texture feels nitro but I'm told it isn't. Kinds bland but well done.

Short pour at the source while mom takes on her own flight. Medium clear gold. Sticky pineapple nose. Murky pineapple & chem, soda, pronounced saltiness, plenty sour, very gunky wheat, lingering pancake batter. Too flabby.

Notes from 11/26/24. Pale gold, ring of froth. Premium lager nose with some bonus herbal. Noble, sweet sharp malt, sticky turning a touch acidic. Itchy malt texture. Very little backbone. Getting a messy import lager feel from it.

Notes from 11/26/24. Tulip at the source with my mom. Slightly opaque, pale gold, strong froth. Beautiful floral & cheese funk nose over some sharp citrus. Soft continuous flora, orange zest. Taste is delicate Brett, rose water, slight lemon, earthy tannins, Whit sort of textured finish. A touch too delicate but kinda nice.
