On tap at Taco Mac Metropolis, Atlanta, GA, USA. Arrived at TM on a Sunday knowing that this beer had been tapped a few hours earlier. Asking my waitress if it was still on she said “no” and suggested the “similar”, Brooklyn Pennant Ale! Good grief ::faceplam::. Anyway, I decided to investigate this myself by going to the bar – it was STILL pouring. Ho hum.
From notes.
A hazed, orange pour with a decent head and some lace. The lace is well formed and is nice and sticky.
Nose and tastes are rather wheat based which seems unusual for the style. Sweet elements from the beer which, given the style, I suppose is to be expected. The beer drinks very easily although the tastes are a little tiring (I couldn’t see myself drinking much of this).
The beer has a slick mouthfeel which does make it easy to consume, but at the same time it makes it a beer that fills your palate and stomach quickly.
Interesting beer than seems like a sweet, wheat ale to me. Not quite as sweet as other Braggot’s I’ve had but it is still a feature of this beer.
