Hitachino Nest Celebration Ale

Well this is a very odd beast. Bought as a single stubbie from Green’s, Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, GA, USA.

Pours like an American strong ale – reminiscent of a Double Bastard. Hazed amber body with a dense, light coffee colored head and some decent lacing. Aroma and tastes are ethanal (apple) infected. Alcohol is evident but the apple funk is very off putting. No spice of any description and if you are expecting a WW of some description you’ll be disappointed.

Maybe a bad bottle, but I know for a fact that this was a fresh bottle from a new batch, so I don’t know what to make of it. Judge for yourself, but this is my last bottle for a while.
