Transient Artisan Ales O’Tay
"Spicy nose with hints of toast, honey, lemon, white pepper; smoke phenols. Initial taste of light fruit, white wine, and citrus, but a distracting tar-like note, and more plastic phenols. Low sweetness, firm acidity. Decent carbonation; dry, slightly tannic finish. Nearly refreshing, but for the rough edges."
