Beautiful cloudy reddish brown appearance. Acidic, very flowery nose with a some citrus notes. Medium body, a hint of pine needles. Balanced bitter finish. The acidity is quite dominant, and I’m afraid my bottle was rather oxidized.

clear amber, thin frothy head and a touch of lace, slightly sweet aroma with wonderful floral hops, solid malt flavor, slightly sweet, followed by a wave of hop flavor leaving a trail of bitterness; the sweetness is the butterscotch yeast

Score: iii to ii

butterscotch becoming more apparent, hop character falling off
-------- /> Date: 04/29/1999
Score: ii to iii

what’s the deal? no butterscotch, lots of bitterness. bar vs. restraunt?
