Foam Born: (B) The Decade of Statues
Autodidact Beer

 

On draught at the brewery. Pint pour served in a Willi Becher glass. It's a dense, opaque, dirty tangerine color with a full finger cap of bright white foam and soapy lacing. The nose is earthy and weedy with notes of pineapple and stone fruit. Its taste opens dank and weedy with dry bitterness balanced by notes of tart citrus, ripe melon, and tangerine with a dry, crackery malt base. It packs a lot of flavor for a Pale Ale. The mouth feel is lite and fairly crisp for its hazy appearance and it drinks very easily at 5.8% ABV. Overall, this is a solid offering. I'm generally not a fan of Strata hops but The Decade of Statues is well-made by two fine brewers.
