Bizarre and unique to say the least.
Hazed orange pour with a good head and some nice lacing. Frankly this looks pretty good. After that, well, it’s a bit of a mess. Mint and more profoundly very strong medicinal tones in the nose and taste. These very odd aromas and flavors are very difficult to get beyond and this makes this difficult to drink. The best way I can describe it is as sweet child’s medicine. Reminded me of the infamous Cherry Wheat in some respects!
Pretty nasty, and although there is some good intent behind this brew, I am surprised that after tasting it, the BBC and Jim Koch would actually inflict this upon the population. Not good.
