Taweret (Peach/Apricot)
Transient Artisan Ales

 

 

 

 

At mwbbf. Def. The best of the transients offerings. Not pretty, but bursting with peach in the nose and in the drink. Explosive flavor and carbonation. Reminiscent of batch one pentameter. Absolutely delicious! better than fuzzy imho.

 

 

Thanks bstyle for this
750 ml poured into a teku

A- Gusher, lost half the bottle. A super murky/muddy apricot color with a massive white head.

S- Tart apricots, some peaches, lemons, some spiced rum.

T- Sour, apricots, lemons, touch of peach, hint of the wine and rum barrels round out the flavor.

S- Smooth, medium body.

O- A tasty sour that I wish I don't lose half of.

The rum barrel adds a rounded sweetness that brings up the stone fruit flavors. Nicely carbed and a hint of dryness on the finish. Juicy and tart stonefruit. Fairly quenching. Not overly acidic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hazy orange, slow gush out of the bottle. Ample foam, almost overcarbed, huge billowing head in the glass, leaving behind chunky bits of lacing. Aroma is slightly metallic, like opening a can of peaches. As it warms there's more of a fruit presence, apricot and peach are noticeable.

Taste is a little bit more one dimensional but pleasant, apricot and peach lactic sourness. Firmly acidic and puckering with a relatively clean finish. Not much oak presence, the bugs tend to take over. Light bodied and seltzery. Overall it's decent but not worth the premium price. Wasn't as good as the tap version for some reason. I'm guessing the kegs had added fruit puree, this wasn't an isolated thing. Most of the kegged beers were far better than their bottled versions.
