Commercial Description:
Matilda is made with a rare yeast that suggests a fruity and spicy flavor. There is complex maltiness balanced with a profuse amount of hops.

Courtesy of topherdrinks, thanks Chris! Pours a hazy golden color with a medium frothy light tan head. Nose of fruits, floral, and metallic overlay. Mouthfeel is light body and with lots of micro bubbles. Initial tasteof caramel sweetness, red fruits, spices apparent corriander. Finishing with a good hop balance that tangy more than bitter. Palate duration is average. Good Head retention with some spot lacing. Drinkable, but probably wouldn’t hit this one up again. Taste is simple and not very appetizing.

On tap. Amber brown with little head. Very little aroma - bit of malt. Low carbonation - thin mouthfeel at first but lingering aftertaste. Flavor is fairly bland. Spice, some bitterness is there, but not much else. Rather unimpressed.

Pours an amber body with no head. Aroma is spicy, fruity and yeasty. Flavor is yeast, bread, spice and a little goodness. Finishes dry.

Bottle pours dark golden color with a thick off white head. Aroma is fruity and yeasty. Body is medium. Flavor is smooth yeast, bread, fruit spice, and alcohol warmth as you drink it. Overall a nice brew.

Sample at Barley’s Smokehouse. This beer is a clear orange color with a medium and foamy off-white head that diminishes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus and biscuity malt, along with some sweet allspice. Medium-bodied with a borderline medicinal fruity character. Flavors of yeast, citrus and spices are all in the background. The finish is malty and fruity with a mild spiced hops aftertaste. Aside from the medicinal qualities, this beer is not bad.
