Bottled on August 11th, 2017.
This was poured into an English pint glass but namely because of my etched hockey sticks on the glass, seemed to me like a fitting glass.
The appearance was a murky dark pale orange color with some lighter yellow hues along the sides. A finger's worth of white foamy head slid off to leave some sticky lace roaming all around.
The aroma settles in on clingy gripping grapefruit rind and pulp playing with a little white pepper, hints of grassy freshness and a nice rounded out little bit of tobacco, perhaps a touch of wood.
The flavor was moderately crisp sweet with a substantial juiciness striding in for balance. Crisp semi-sweet juiciness glides into the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt on par. ABV felt appropriate. Finish was somewhat gritty, with a little bit of dryness and a bit of stickiness (acceptable to me).
Overall, to me, it's one that I think Travis Roy would like himself as it seems to pack all of the punches Travis himself would have done on the ice. Fitting beer, @ 1st Republic!
