In short: An chaotic semi-wild golden ale. Enjoyable mess.
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed when about 6 months old.
The look: Cloudy golden blonde body topped by a medium white with medium retention
In long: Strange nose that blends wild (almost funky) yeast, bakery and sour notes of white grapes. Taste is kind of messy. Crisp cookies, dusty, lemon acidity, peppermint, plastic, white sugar, minty hops. Dry dusty finish. With each sips you sweetness, tartness, bitterness, acidity, dryness. More chaotic than complex. Yet another example of a objectively fucked-up beer that I found subjectively entertaining enough to enjoy it and give it a decent score. Named after a greek mythological being cursed to do the same meaningless task day after day after day. The ancestor of cubicle worker.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, golden in color, has a light white head. The smell is yeast, wheat, citrus, and ok. The taste is sweet, yeast, citrus, and fruits.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a cloudy gold with white fizzy head. Aroma of some citrus, light malt, faint tartness. Flavor of some malt and some fruit. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high fizzy carbonation. Overall, interesting beer.

Floral perfumey nose, a little dusty. Soft fruit underneath maybe. Golden orange pour, big bubbled thin head. Dusty husky up front, tangy lemon, more chewy husky flavors. Not really any cherry per se but there are some fruity undertones. Somewhat quenching bitterness in the finish. An interesting beer.

22oz bottle from riversideak. Hazy golden with fizzy white head. Super parfume/floral nose. Wheaty, grassy, lemon...a bit of cherry but super burried...but really a sweet floral nose. Sweet lemony wood flavor with some apple and floral sweetness. Some ester bubblegum flavor goin on also. Chewy body.

Bomber, memorable bottle form the Dog Days of Summer bash. Poured a citrus hazy orange drink like color with small white head. Sour candy sweet with hay and yeast. Dry, odd, bitter and a bit sour which was not very enjoyable.
