Turn To Stone
Birdsong Brewing

 

A: Pours a very lightly hazy medium golden yellow in color with light to moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate apricot colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a medium sized patch of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of tropical/guava, tropical/melon, and citrus/grapefruit zest hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of grainy + biscuit malts with a hint of grainy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of grainy + biscuit malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of tropical/guava, tropical/melon, and citrus/grapefruit zest hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which lingers through the finish.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp with a light to moderate amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol, enjoyable hop flavors + aromas, and a pleasant amount of bitterness in the finish. Enjoyable - I would gladly have this one again.
