Alright, so if I'm capable of posting this review tonight, I'll be back to being caught up (outside of the typical backlog, mind you). Got home from watching Iron Man 3, thought it would be nice to enjoy a beer with my dinner after a pretty nice Sunday.
I went with the pilsner glass today and generated about two fingers of light colored head after a vigorous pour. Light retention, showing some light sheets of lacing near the surface. The color was clear and straw colored. I could detect aromas of malt and bread, some yeast, some "funk", maybe a touch of banana.
The taste was different. I got the malt, bread, yeast, and funk. It left an odd aftertaste that I couldn't quite discern. It tasted great cold, but as it warmed, the characteristics changed, and not for the better. I felt like there was a lot going on, and I almost threw out what I had left when the glass warmed, but I toughed it out and drank the rest. There's a light hop finish at the end, but it didn't feel overly refreshing. I had higher hopes when I first sipped, but as I continued to sip, I became more and more disappointed with this one. I'll pass on this one next time.
