Pub Ale
Equal Parts Brewing

 

Well...unknown to me when I ordered this, this is only on Nitro. I typically avoid Nitro at all costs, cause my opinion will almost always be negative. But its also the breweries own fault for not labeling this correctly on the menu...Its also served in the wrong glass, which makes it near impossible to pour correctly as well.

A: Poured in a version of an hour shaped pint glass for some reason. The dense head takes forever to settle, and when it does it fills a good quarter of the regular hour glass, and feel I'm being cheated out of some ounces.. If you have proper glassware, like a Nonic, this would be fine. As is, no. A dark brown color.
S: A very neutral aroma, with some toasted grains. That is about it.
T: Toasted grains, maybe a little sourness. Almost no real character here. This is why I can't stand Nitro, everything is masked to the point of being mostly unidentifiable IMO.
M/O: A super light body. With that artificial Nitro body. Disappointed, and not something I'm coming back to.

Yeah, not good IMO. Another little rant of mine...Equal Parts has taken great care in how they pour their lagers. In the correct glassware, with slow pours and the correct faucets. The correct Hladinka pours, etc. So its a bit disappointing they don't take the same amount of care for something like this. Even just a regular Nonic glass would suffice, but its also just a poor example of a Mild, and on Nitro. Equal Parts is one of my favorite breweries in Houston, so this is probably why I'm being a bit more harsh here. I kind of expect more, and this is a big miss for one of my favorite styles and breweries.
