Batch 009
Pours a light golden yellow with a 1/4 inch of foam that quickly faded to a layer of fine bubbles. Aroma is light bready grains, cloves and a hint of citrus. Very faint aroma overall. The taste is big lemon zest, clove pepper and slight grains. Very light bodied and crisp mouthfeel. Nicely carbonated and very easy to drink. This could be a nice hot weather beer. Very enjoyable

375 ml bottle (“bottled on 091922”) poured into a Spiegelau beer tulip. Pours hazy golden yellow with a tall frothy cap of head and lingering foam. Light malt, spicy yeast, fruity phenols and soft funk. Flavor follows with cracker malt, mild yeasty funk and spice with a crisp, gently bitter finish. Light body with moderate carbonation. Clean, crisp and refreshing

Rating from notes. Consumed January 2014. "A complex, delicate BPA with a welcomed tartness on palate. Tasty beer."

This one is spot on like that Budweiser dog with the ring around his eye. Like Philip Marlowe interrogating a witness, it’s just all kinds of clean and smooth. And like Bogart when he doesn’t get his vitamin b shots, it’s not exactly overpowering. No waboom! I’m here like Robert Mitchem cold cocking a perp. No sir! This one is just kinda here, existing to be. And you know what? Raul is ok with that.
