On-tap at the Porter in Atlanta.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a 1.5-finger white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.

Smells of crisp pilsner malts, sweet candi sugar, tropical fruits, and spices, in that order. As the beer warms the candi sugar and sweet malt flavors intensify a bit.

Tastes similar to how it smells. Smooth pilsner malt flavors kick things off and are quickly joined by sugar-coated medium and tropical fruit flavors. Midway through the sip hints of leafy hop flavors make a brief appearance before being overtaken by peppery spices. The spices fade near the end of the sip, allowing the malt and fruit flavors to carry through to a crisp ending.

Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with active carbonation.

Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have a few more.

Overall I was hoping for more hops considering Green Flash was a part of the equation but what I got instead was a well-balanced beer. Neither side of the equation was robust enough to make it great but it's still worth a shot.

Here's another beer that made its appearance at the Nevada home opener football tailgate in September '21. This was towards the back end of the day but still impressive.

Pours a mostly amber color, slightly bright and good clarity. 1/3" off white head. Aroma lacked the usual bspa booziness, instead there was a grain, apple orchard, brett fruitiness to it. The "spice" aspect doesn't seem to big here, thankfully. Think of this as like an imperial rayon vert at this point.

The taste was quite nice, quite complex. The mouth feel was definitely a plus with the bottle still having ample carbonation and minimal oxidation. While it looked malty, it was pretty light on its feet and the alcohol wasn't too perceptible. Still pushing a light green apple meets dry leather paradigm. Brett profile very well done, again, rayon vert feels all over this. Only spice aspect seemed to be a nicely placed rosemary indication.

On tap at Rattle n Hum, NYC. As a big St. Feuillien fan I found this a bit disappointing. I recall another collaberation from these 2 that I found to be very disappointing. IMO Greenflash is pretty heavy handed w/hops, but that is not the case here. It's simply I don't particularly like th flavors here.

Pours a half finger of head on a hazy light straw body.
The aroma is bright, initially grapefruit, then mango and pineapple and some candy.
The taste is candy sweet, lemon drops and mild bitter finish.
The texture is light and airy.
Outstanding beer.

Bottled 6/6/14. Poured from a 750 into a stemmed chalice, the beer is a hazy, straw gold coloring with a steady flow of carbonation throughout, and a chunky, dense, foamy, off-white head. Aromas of caramel sweetness forward, with floral highlights, a solid spice blend of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and grains of paradise. Toasted notes, with a hops character profile of tropical fruit and cut grass. Flavors are tropical fruit forward, heavy on pineapple, apricot, and melon, all on a grassy and piney hops profile, accented by a blast of spices including cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper. This all takes place on a caramel and biscuit backbone, with some subtle yeast esters highlighting here and there. Pretty dynamic, and this one has been in the bottle for a year. Smooth, light, and effervesced in mouth, with a fruity and bready aftertaste, almost like a fruitcake, with hints of bitterness still kicking around. Smooth, light, slightly lingering finish. Good beer.
