Appearance: Muddy
bronze with a thin beige head. There is
a significant load of chunks slowly falling to the bottom of the glass (2.25/5).
Aroma: Toasted malt
and baked apples. Oxidation. More oxidation as the beer warms up (2.5/5).
Taste: Oxidized here
too. This beer was obviously stored in
suboptimal conditions. There is no
indication on the label how old it is, so I guess I’m left guessing. Behind the oxidation there is a sweet, malty
base, a touch of cider, and a hint of orange pith. There is a very mild bitterness too, but I’m
not sure it comes from hops. It almost
tastes like a byproduct of the yeast (or even the yeast itself) (2.75/5).
Mouthfeel: Medium
body, medium carbonation (3.5/5).
Overall: I guess
there was a decent beer in here before time sucked away its soul, but sadly
that day was well before this one. I’m
not sure if I would actively seek out a replacement, but I might pick up a pint
if I saw it on draft somewhere (2.75/5).
