I have had this bottle for a good year and I am sure the
beer store had it for a while as well.
The bottle says it can be aged up to a decade. I just wish they dated the bottle.
Yeast is on the bottom so it will be needing a little swirl
to get that good sediment stirred up.
Appearance: bright golden yellow
body with very little head on the first glass.
I don’t think I stirred up much of the yeast. I put a stopper in the top and did a little
more swirling of the bottle and stirred up a bit of that yeast on the bottom of
the bottle. Now the body is a hazy
golden yellow and I have a few pieces of plankton swirling around.
Aroma: sour mash, maybe green
apple, lemon for sure
Flavors: this is more of a Sour
Ale or better yet a Summer Shandy; sour mash, big time lemon wedge, sour apple,
Mouthfeel: a little floral like on
the aftertaste along with a lingering lemon drop, this is very good on this hot
summer day.
To the Point: not what I expected
for a golden ale, like I said it seems like a sour ale to me; the flavor
profile is pure lemon wedge. I am not a
fan of lemon flavors in beer but, this ale is refreshing.
