3.71/5 rDev -4.6%
look: 3 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Look: Pours a thick, incredibly turbid and murky brown with little to no head. Kind of looks like swamp water a little bit.
Smell: Actually smells pretty nice considering my first impressions of the color. I got some citrusy aroma, along with lots of rind.
Taste: Some citrus and tropical fruit, but malt dominates here. Was told at the brewery that this beer was made with unroasted malt? An odd mix, but the taste was refreshing and light nonetheless.
Feel: Soft, and not very crisp, especially for a session ale. Taste lingers for a good amount of time afterward.
Overall: Definitely one of the most bizarre beers I've encountered. As mentioned in the other review here, the beer is definitely an ugly duckling, but the flavor is intriguing and the beer as a whole is very drinkable.

A: pours a murky brown like the Charles river, small head. I'm worried at this point.
S: tropical hops dominate the nose, some stone fruit as well
T: refreshing, hoppy, some light grassy notes
M: soft mouthfeel, low carbonation, with a medium-length finish
I: the brewer's description was "a mindf@@k", and I think mission totally accomplished: this is a hoppy, murky, session beer that looks like pond water and will elicit questions and/or concerned looks from anyone who sees your glass. Tastily-brackish, though!! Drink it.
