Sarlacc83 (1500) - Portland, Oregon, USA - DEC 31, 2012
750mL bottle from brewery. Served in tulip. A: Pours a very cloudy straw color with an excellent half inch head. Has some fingers to the glass. N: Clear scents of pineapple and cane sugar. Biscuity nature with an overture of pine. Leans to the tropical from the dry hopping. T: Very biscuity and yeasty. Some pine and mango, but the golden strong is the major component. Pineapple after this lingers. I don’t know that this combination works. Too sweet and almost cloying. M: Sticky, medium mouthfeel. Alcohol makes its presence known. O: Discordant is how I’d describe this. Drinkable enough, but not worthy of coveting. Just not a great combination of ideas, unfortunately.

UPDATED: JAN 16, 2013 Tap @ PCTBB... Poured golden/amber with a white head. Nose was full of hops. Quite bitter, drying yeast, alcohol heat. All this made it a tad astringent. Full bodied, citrus, lemon, and a mild malt sweetness. I would have given this a higher score, but as it warmed some diacetyl started to come through making it very off putting.
