Captain Kidd
Oyster Bay Brewing Co.

 

Poured from a 16oz can into a Speiglau IPA glass.

Look is a very cloudy orange yellow with an inch head.

Aroma is bitter orange peel like a pulpy orange juice.

Taste is bitter tangerine and candy sweet.

 

 

Don't let that one rating so far throw you off - it's not bad! Double dry hopped with Mosaic, probably canned about a month ago... Murky medium gold beer, opaque, with a few fingers of off-white head and a lot of lacing down the glass... Tropical and citrus fruits on the nose, rather muddled together, with some herbal notes on the side... Tastes along those lines, but with hints of berry brightening it up and a subtle undercurrent of something more akin to pine... Smooth and softly carbonated, 65 IBUs come across as mildly bitter; sweetness is subdued, too, allowing for a nice, mellow drinking experience... Nothing special necessarily, but there's nothing objectionable about it either...
