tfontana Profile

Can (7/28/24) from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Clear, pale yellow, light sparkle, decent head fading quickly to ring, trace lacing. Aroma is barley malt--somewhat pilsner-y , vague fruit/florals. Taste as aroma but less fruity/floral. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Old but seemingly in the ballpark of other reviews.

Galaphobia from Narrow Gauge Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7

Can (11/20/23) from the taproom. Virtually opaque dark brown, thin head with fair retention, no lacing. Aroma is strong vanilla and Tootsie Roll, as described in previous review. Taste is strong vanilla, some roasted malt in the middle that wasn't in aroma and then late Tootsie Roll again. Smooth, mellow texture, soft carbonation, slight alcohol warmth, vanilla finish. On clearance at taproom so decided to take a flyer. Based on previous review, I don't think it lost anything. Lactose contributes slightly to palate but dominates aroma/flavor.
