First off I was pretty stoked to see this one tap. Hasn't been brewed since 2002 for the time Umphrey's McGee played at the Mishawaka Brew Co.
A- Pours a dull golden copper color. Half finger white head shows low retention leaving a nice collar on the beer itself. Light spotty lacing on the sides of the glass.
S- Nice big citrus hints on the front of the nose. More lemon and light grapefruit forward. Some almost pale malts in the background give a little balance to the aroma but not much.
T- Light bitter hops clash with some even lighter pale malts in the front. Middle of the beer is not really there no matter how much I try to figure it out. Ending is a interesting mix of burnt plastic, pale malts, and light bitter hops.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is a little lacking in this beer but doesn't cause a problem because of that. Bitter hops are left on the palate which was a nice surprise. Aftertaste is mostly light alcohol, bitter hops, and a large dose of that plastic taste. This beer was balanced for the most part to the style. The plastic flavor was a off flavor that stuck around the back end of the beer in big flavor. Medium alcohol drying on the palate.
D- This beer was drinkable and in fact I had a couple pints of it. It was more or less so I could put my finger on the plastic flavor but it grew on me. Not my first beer of choice but nice to try this beer out of their older portfolio.
