Unique

Started on Ratebeer in 2002. Never a huge ticker but have become more interested in trying smaller sample sizes of more beers lately. Current tasting group meets bi-monthly: tfontana, Airforcehops (CLW) and Chalumeaux, occasionally with AdamChandler and Jow. If you're ever in the MA/NH area, reach out! *Disclaimer* I rate N/A beers on a N/A beer scale. Not a scale vs non-N/A beers. So an 8.5 rating of an N/A beer does not mean I think it is equivalent to an 8.5 real beer.

Undated can drunk 1/15/26, as pictured.
Lightly bready honey and white bread. Nice and malty but doesn't seem to be too much so. Hops are soft, and I assume this is quite a few months old at this point. Herbs and flowers with mild mineral and mild toast.
Nice and malty again with good bittering hop, lots of floral notes and pepper. Rich honey with a touch of caramel. Not too much toast, but also drying out enough on the finish to keep it drinkable. Surprised how much lingering bitterness there is here, maybe a bit too much, but it does help balance the big maltiness.

Bottle drunk 1/1/25.
Clear.
Sweet in the nose with some light mineral, maybe a touch of wax or alcohol-tinged character. Juicy fruits like coconut and soft lychee.
Same character in the mouth. Rich and round, rather unrefined but flavorful. Good with a meal. Thoughtless.
