16.9 oz bottle from Rick. Thanks! Into Empyrean Carpe Brew Em Snifter out on the back deck.
Pours a lighter than expected golden shade which then forms a nice reddish hue in the glass. The head is sticky and stays around and is at about 1/2 finger.
Some musty grains hit the nose first, following with honey and prune, then graham cracker and some light caramel.
Flavor brings a nice balance of sweetness and hop bill, but IMO Quads aren't really supposed to be balanced. (Save that pro technique for a brown or a red ale!). Has sugary plum candy to start, followed by grassy/weedy hop, a passing glance of pine/evergreen, and then some caramel, raisin, wheat, nectarine, and pilsner malt. Finish is of grass, honey, and ethanol.
Feel is very rough on the palate, but crisp, with a gravelly feel and a ton of gravity hitting you right away. The heat is like a person of presence standing in the room, they're always there and you're conscious of them, even when they're not talking. The heat borders on cottonmouth at times but doesn't quite cross over. Decidedly medium bodied and dries out as stated on the finish. Some stickiness remains along with some slight hop resin.
Overall, a pretty sturdy and respectable Quad. Does its own thing at times, while being amiably boring all the while. Constantly plays the balance game which is fun but doesn't really put both feet in either camp. I'd say give it a shot once if you come across it.
