Getcha some Slurm Lord

 

Cohesive Resistance

 

Long long long day. Time for a beer, or three. Just tapped this 4.5% Pale Ale! Oats as 15% of the grist for a silky body and hugely hopped with Columbus, Citra and Mandarina Bravaria.

Ah, one left in the fridge for this sunny Friday . . .



Surprisingly complex aroma of orange and hops with neither dominating but both entwined seamlessly. The brewer lists nine different hop varieties in this brew and I can't identify a single one but the harmony of this scent is remarkable.

Taste is exceptional managing to be both simple and complex at the same time. Darned if I know how but it is. On entry there is a sense of body more than flavor with orange present but subdued then hops so mingled with orange they present a combined flavor that still show enough separate identity to recognize both are present. I think I can identify some citrus hop characteristics, some zest and perhaps tropical fruit presenting a firm but refreshing bitterness to the finish. The aftertaste has a mild nuttiness that I suspect comes from the grain bill. Not much, just enough to notice and it's nice.
