Batch 9; poured into a tulip.

A - Pours a hazy golden brown with one finger of white head. Head dissipates quickly but leaves nice lacing.

S - Smells of bread, Belgian yeast, a bit of lemon and pepper. Very nice.

T - Similar to smell, a bit of lemon up front followed by Belgian yeast and some spice, mostly pepper. Taste of bread follows. A bit of earthiness on the finish. This is very enjoyable.

M - Medium mouthfeel with a dry earthy finish.

O -- Really enjoyed this and would definitely get this again.

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

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.
