On tap for Allagash night at Boneyard Bistro in Sherman Oaks, CA.
Pours a hazy super light yellow with a white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. A foamy curtain of lace lines the glass on the drink down. Smell is of grain and some sour/tart grape-like fruity aromas. Taste is of grain, spices, and some fruity flavors. There is an earthy/herbal bitterness on the palate after each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer but it's slightly watery and not very wild in the flavor department.
