Tonight's beer: 21st Amendment Toaster Pastry
Fruity-juicy sweetness abutting musky-floral bitterness. Citrus—mainly oranges and limes—with threads of berries, melons, pineapples and other tropical fruits. Hints and flecks of pine and grass on the perimeter. Bready sweetness mostly around the middle, layered with caramel and toast. Evolves gradually to smoothly dry.
Maybe a little thicker than medium-bodied, pretty well-carbonated. Bready-chewiness swings to resinous-syrupy stickiness, drifts to cleansing, drying, refreshing.
A delicious beer, an example of why I like amber/red ales better than pale ones, when it comes to showing off hops' flavors. Intense as hell, gloriously complex; poised and graceful, a lot like balanced, integrated and crazily drinkable. For the sake of moderation, I am happy to have found this beer in cans that are not gratuitously over-the-top large.
