650ml bottle - the third iteration of the 'Rapscallion' roggenbier-based offerings from Yukon, this time mit apricot!
This beer pours a murky, dark orangish amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and kind of fizzy tan head, which leaves some melting iceberg profile lace around the glass as it evenly bleeds away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled stone fruit notes, some spicy rye graininess, banana chips, a wee earthy yeastiness, and some plain leafy and floral green hop bitters. The taste is good and fruity, but more in a blend of banana, apricot, peach, and citrus sort of way, with a mixed pale, caramel, and rye malt sweetness, white and black pepper, some laid-back yeasty essences, and a gentle leafy, floral, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly understated in its quotidian frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really possessing the gonads here to mess with the level smoothness, not to mention a burgeoning airy creaminess. It finishes on the sweet side, and blended up the wazoo, between the muttish malt, and smoothie-quality fruitiness.
Overall, not a bad-tasting brew, by any means, but not the apricot/peach forward, spicy rye brew that I might have been anticipating. As already noted, there's lots going on here, but it is all mushed together, which, in the end, isn't such a bad thing, if all it is you want to do is drink it. Perish the thought.
