12 oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA. Bottled on 02/12/08.
Pour is a lacklustre, perfectly clear golden pour. The film of head that form on the surface of the beer is light and there is no lace.
Nose reveals a strong, sherry like liquor based aroma – I rather like it! It’s the beer’s strongest feature.
Tastes reflect the nose just for a second and then the beer reverts to an acidic, sharp and rather unpleasant atifical bitterness. Finishes dry and bitter with an aftertaste that is reminiscent of a really low quality sherry.
Some potential here, and it’s difficult to know what the unique nature of the beer does to the tastes, but either way, even with my optimistic outlook it is hard to get through a single bottle of this brew.
