mcberko Profile

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has big time phenols… fuck sake… with some oak, wild bugs, but this is all ruined by the phenols. Flavour is a phenol-bomb, with plenty of oak in there, but it can’t save the phenolic notes. All sorts of wrong. Bad.

Angelique from Cellador Ales

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a hazy almost purpleish with a small white head — bottom of the keg? Aroma is full of acidic apricots, some wild notes, and a touch of oak. Flavour is full of bright apricots, high acidity, and some bugginess. That’s too much acidity but the fruit character is very good. Not the most complex fruited wild ale but it’s pleasant.

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of oak, citrusy hops, some light dankness, and cereal graininess. Flavour is much the same, with lots of oak, citrusy hops, and cereal grains. Nice combo of oak and hops, finishing lightly tart and oaky. Very good.

Dynamic Essence from Von Ebert Brewing

1 year ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of piney hops, some pot-like terpenes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is very dank, partly from the hops and partly the twrpenes I assume, with some hop tang, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Dank, pot-like finish. Good stuff.
