Clear, bright, light gold body; very lively carbonation; one-finger thick head, white. Faint, fruity aroma; trace of raw wood. Thin, watery taste with a prominent phenolic character; some very faint peach notes; harsh bitterness. Medium body; soft and dry throughout; feathery smoothness.

I have no idea where the flavor went with this one. That band aid flavor dominates things with just a touch of peach. The barrel aging doesn't really show except for a faint hint of wood in the smell, but any rye notes are lost. I love the mouthfeel, but too bad the taste and smell are so disappointing.

Pouring temperature: 57 °F; bottling data: none noted
