From the Carwyn Cellars "The One" subscription box in December 2022. Drunk in February 2023.
L: Deep gold, almost copper in look, time travelling back to the old west coast colour palate, now with a bit of added haze (TM)! The head is fluffy, bright white and looks likely to collapse at the slightest nudge of the flux capacitor. Stream upon stream of bubbles are visible in the stem of the glass, drawn inexorably upwards like plot devices towards a time paradox.
S: This is a cruisy journey down the sensory wormhole. The nose carries a creamy caramel malt base with dank, piney hops, crafted like the brewers of misty yore. It has the classic bitter beers of my mid-teens early craft exploration (the planet's age, not mine!) written all over it.
T: Bitterness, oh how I've missed thee! My mouth is screaming, my tongue is numb and my head is spinning. It's 1989, I'm 16, having my first beer, and it hurts. Now it's 2015 and I'm back in the golden age of dank hops, smiling as my mouth puckers and teeth melt at the dank bitterness. Wherever I am, someone keeps hitting the chronometer and time, my memory, and the time-travel allusions are jumping all over the place. This one is pine, menthol, shampoo, weed and terribly-over-fermented pineapple. It's brilliant!
M: The mouthfeel is bitier than a possum in a monorail car. It's prickly, carbonated and backed up by a decent dose of hop burn. It's the Biff Tannin of the beer world and it'll beat you down if you don't stand up to it.
O: Time Traveller indeed. This one harkens back to a time when dank was King, haze was a sin, and real men ate their beer with a fork. It doesn't hold back the bitterness, doesn't try to hide it with juice or haze, and all the while ducks and weaves away from the Libyans with ease. If this beer was a time travelling movie it'd have the T1000, a Delorian and, heaven forbid, the Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, and they'd all be giving you the finger. 2023 is not worthy of this beer, but send me back a few years and it'd be cruising at the front of the bitter pack.
Cheers!
