| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 16, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Very cold light salt nose. A bit of honey, malt and spice. Pours a hazy orange-gold, vibrant with a rim of whitish.
Flavor is an interesting amalgam savory herbal flavors, fresh yeast, honey and almonds. Very bright and dry. Salty.
This is nice. Quiet and reserved. A bit of alcohol brightens the backend. The flavors are nice. The beer is very
quaffable. Peppery and floral. Long very faint grassy finish. Nice. Balanced, subtle.
