The Reckoning
Societe Brewing Co.

 

 

16oz can, painted label. Date on lower lip is '07/15/25', about twenty one weeks in the can.
Cloudy, straw colored body. Two fingers of white head with the pour, and this reduces slowly to a thick cap and higher ring. Leaves behind extensive lacing webs and horizontal bands.
Aroma of orange, peach, apricot, and whiffs of pine and resin.
Taste is malty and earthy. Hop flavors of peach, nectarines, and apricot. Hints of pine and resin. Aftertaste loses any sweetness and goes stone fruit skin. Overall sweetness is subdued and moderate, and the bitterness is rather low.
More than medium mouthfeel. Coats the mouth but finishes dry. Excellent carbonation - the foam cap follows the body down to the bottom of the glass.
May be showing its age because the hop expressions are not vibrant.

 

Smells herbal, fruity upon cracking it. Pours like a few Societe IPAs: light gold, pretty clear, good but fluffy head. Somewhat light bodied but not watery, the hops sneak up and sting your tongue, and somewhat dry true to style. There’s a variety of stone fruit flavors and when I find out what stone fruit is I’ll let you know but seriously, it’s pretty tasty and goes down fast. Try it, you’ll like it!

 

I’m in contrast. I’m over her. No I'm not. I like spinach and artichoke dip. Never mind, it’s for sorority girls. And that’s where I’m at with The Reckoning... It’s not as badass as when it came out of Val Kilmer’s mouth in “Tombstone.” Then again, it’s neither as bad as Tombstone Pizza. Ok, something is coming along… Yes. It’s not loud and clear like Tesla working with electric rays, but it delivers hard enough like Ali in Africa. I would prefer more resin and dank, but enough is there - along with a beautiful dose of malt on the backbone that makes this playa sip with glee.

Get at it, my children. And try and go forth happily!
