| Yes, the wood is leaning back so the glass does not fall off - look at the base of the glass |
Appearance: if I worked for a paint company to name their
colors I would call the color of Smitten: summer mist golden ale; the ale had a
nice full one finger pure white head on an easy pour; leaves very little lacing;
halfway thru the glass and there is some lacing hanging on the glass.
Aroma: light rye grains; no let me start this over here;
nice touch of floral-citrus hops with a light rye spice; I think that should do
it

| Smitten |
Flavors: the rye and citrus swirl around each other on the
palate; light dry pine on the back; some light caramel and bready malts underneath;
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation; nice spicy style; dusty
grains; dry; medium body; pine on the back and aftertaste; pleasingly bitter
with some nice balance from the malts
To the Point: on the bitter side but the malts do their job
to balance things out; a delightful ale; I would suggest you try it on a warm
spring day (okay this year that might not happen) let’s try for a nice warm
summer day.
