Peel
Bog Iron Brewing

 

Thanks to JLindros for hooking me up with a can of this. Canned on 7/25/18.

A - Poured in to my Duvel tulip a nice hazy golden hue with a two finger white head that fades quickly to leave a thin halo. Almost soda like head.

S - Aromas of very pleasant honey sweetness, orange peel and zest, there is some light alcohol burn.

T - Taste is similar to the nose. Nice honey sweetness, little bit of cardboard as well, super dry. Not getting any hops really whatsoever, maybe a little bit of orange peel but that's a stretch. The finish is lingering raw honey and marmalade smeared cardboard along with some old malts. Almost some saltine crackers on the finish as well, a saltiness that lingers.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, body is a bit thin.

O - Overall I had high expectations for this beer, however, it didn't really live up to them. I'm not sure if it's the canning process, age, or what but this is no where near as good as it was on draft. Super unfortunate.

Serving Type: Can

 

 

 

Draft at the brewery
Light fizzy head, very hazy orange pale color

Nose fresh orange zest, little marmalade, a little tangy zest, touch of honey, little grassy citrus rind hop character too,

Taste mild sweet, big floral flowery honey, nice honey flavor without much sweetness, little creamy malt, juicy citrus, orange blossom and peel, little candy orange marmalade, little grassy slight spicy hop and bit more orange citrus hop, mild to fair bitterness ramping on the dry finish, lingering orange blossom

Mouth is med bod, decent carb a bit on the lighter side but good for a braggot

Overall petty nice, good honey character and orange zest, bit of nice beer with that, hops go well, good session braggot
