Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 3/2/18.
Lightly hazy, deep golden-number 2 pencil with light bronze hues and a white head that fades quickly to a ring.
Peachy-papaya-like twang mixes with some dirt or ash-like hop notes. Estery and almost spoiled fruit-like at times. Very strange.
In the mouth it's better. Soft, juicy and yet dry with cherry-lime-like bitterness in the background constantly. Balances the lightly sweet malt that emerges more with warming. The nose is certainly strange but the beer is great. Honey-like malts are succulent while earthy, leafy, dank, juicy hop notes yield pineapple, lime, mango and other random Citra goodness. Great attenuation, carbonation and overall texture. No pine or booze. Perhaps the line had some other strange beer or had not been cleaned recently? Not sure why the nose is so strange yet the beer so good.
