McDermottDrink Profile

Draft at Galway Tribes. Luminous brown sugar body. No head remains after the first minute. Definite sweet brown sugar smell and taste. Carbonation is almost still, or like an industrial engineer drilled microscopic bubbles into the beer mass. Nice hop backburn, plenty of alcohol taste. Another good CA BW.

Bottle from Unpossible's taproom. Pours deep scarlet color with a thin bit of bubbles. Deep strawberry juice nose. Nice sweet taste of strawberry. A bit of tartness hits the sides of the tongue. Nice combination of honey mead and strawberry flavor. Exactly as described.

4 pack from 2HR on their last day of operation. Big slightly yellow foamy pour over a deep gold/amber beer. Big malt nose. And the taste is big on caramel roast malts, maybe a little rye. Prickly noble hop on the lips. Really fine example of a malty festbier.

Can sent for my comment. Clear straw/gold color, tall fizzy foam head. Smell is big with those advertised tropical fruits, citrus and pine. But when it goes into my mouth, all those exotic Pacific hop notes are gone. Just a nice big note of hop bitterness. Harkens back to the original days of American pale ales.
