3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 cAPSLOCK (156) - Dallas, Texas, USA - DEC 12, 2014
Gift from friends. A 1 pint growler from Craft and Growler in Dallas TX. Very pretty honey tan color. Very little head but nice carbonation. Not much nose... some malt and spice. It is dry, but has a rich maltiness without much sweetness. Obviously the brewer was going for spice here. It has a distinct yeastyness, and again the yeast is a spicy choice and belies a bit of craft/micro taste. The hops and malt are matched very well. More alcohol taste than Id expect for 6%. Not much for the alcohol bite to hide behind. Fairly thin uninteresting mouthfeel. Quite yummy though, and a beer I can imagine as nice around winter equinox as well as likely a good summer refresher.

On tap at Lakewood Growler. Amber pour with a white head. The aroma is a mix of toffee, biscuit malt and grass. The flavor is similar. I get some nutty toffee notes as well as some pine bitterness from the hops and a bit of sweetness from the malt. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
