Armadillo
Aeronaut Brewing Company

 

 

On-tap. Pours very clear. Bright Orange hue. Very thin head. Aroma is light but pleasantly hoppy. I'm guessing by the beer's name and the aroma this is mostly Armarillo hops. Citrusy, mainly actual orange aroma. It's one sided but undoubtedly pleasant to sniff. The flavor is all-in on the hops. Very light pale malt, too. I really enjoyed it's blatant citrus qualities. It's very light in body. Not too bitter. Prickly bubbles. Very drinkable. A nice, easy, hoppy session beer that I was definitely in the mood for at the time of consumption.

 

 

 

 

 

Small head but great lace on the glass. Very cloudy. Amber color.

Well-blended combination of malt hop, meaning it's rather neutral but still inviting.

Thin bodied and highly carbonated. The malt is weak and the hop from the swallow reminds me of sage, perhaps too much so. The aftertaste lingers with lots of bitterness. Despite the body, it seems chewy after the swallow.

Seemingly unintentionally musty and cheesy - hopefully it was just my batch, but tasted like stale hops. Color was good, head was good, but I could tell from the smell that I wasn't going to like how this one tasted, and I didn't! Wouldn't try again.

 

 

 

 

I just got the first pour! This is a great session IA with Amarillo hops. Aeronautical is a new brewery in Somerville, MA. They describe Armadillo as a hoppy table beer. Very light, crisp and refreshing! Would love to knock back a couple of these out on the porch on a hot summer day!
