Tonight's beer: Crooked Stave St. Bretta (Summer)
Citrus. Lots and lots of citrus. It's as though someone made orange juice as tart as lemonade. Maybe some flickers of floral-grassy-spicy bitterness. No sweetness to speak of; stunningly dry and kinda lingering.
Light-bodied, thin, with lots of carbonation. Not so much sticky as coating, massively drying. Some tendencies toward refreshing.
After a moment of "Um, what?" this turns out to be a delicious beverage. The Brett yeast and the orange end up making this something that would serve the same end as a Mimosa, I suspect. Intense as hell, but straighfoward and simple with basically just the one note (but a pretty tasty one). it may have sat around a little long, but it seems to still be more or less what the brewery intended. Remarkably drinkable.
