Appearance: Weak, soda-like bubbles rising through a pool
of murky amber. Zero head retention
(2.25/5).
Aroma: Smells kind of dirty… funky, but not in the
way you’d want it to be. A little citrus
pith and toasted malt are cowering in the back corner, but that’s about
it. I don’t know (2.75/5).
Taste: This doesn’t taste anything like I was hoping
it would. I get some ruined malt followed
by a bit of grassy hops on the back end.
Maybe there was a decent Belgian Pale Ale in this bottle once, but if
that was ever true it has since retired and died (2.5/5).
Mouthfeel: Thick and flat (2.25/5).
Overall: This poor
bastard is yet another example of how poorly this style ages. I love that there are breweries out there
making beers like this, but an “Enjoy By” date should be front and center. This embarrassment of a beer does not
represent the style or the brewery with any class. It’s too bad (2.5/5).
