Member Ratings and Notes

Andy

N: Wow, there’s a lot of vapor. Reminds me of the fake leather seats of my family’s 1977 Toyota Corona on a hot day. Freshly tanned leather

P: Starts dull, then quickly heads into a warm minty rubber. Oily sawdust. Balloon. This is pleasant but a tad pedestrian. The finish is bitter. B-/B

Fuji

N: Floral, fruity and sweet maltiness

P: Sour grapes, a bit of peat and wax

F: Medium finish with bitter citrus peel

Tasted blind. B-/B

Ries

n: Initial heather with honey comb and malt. Plenty of floral with hint of lemon oil.

t: Heavy and thick mouthfeel. Dense golden honey with light tobacco leaf. Nice oak influence, grass and heather make for a solid balance. Long honeysuckle finish.

A dessert of honey; nice and safe, but nothing to get excited about. [B.]

Dan

Medium yellow-gold color. Very crisp and clean on the nose that features brinyness and citrus. Can also smell the barley. I feel like the nose translates into the palate fairly nicely, but a little too much feel on this one. [3/24/13]
