The Brew Gentlemen Beer Company Runaway
What the brewers say
“Runaway is a sessionable farmhouse style ale that is light and crushable.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Wonderful big funky Brett horse-blanket aroma with pear and lemon fruit esters. Low aroma overall but very delicate. Some earthiness, a little funk, citrus notes lemon and slight orange.”
Flavor: “Medium malt sweetness with a slight huskiness that plays well with a light lemon and earthy flavor from the hops. Hops flavor of white grape. Light funk keeps this beer interesting and complex. Very smooth drinking and light—finishes very clean. Light and crisp. Fruity—pears, some peach. Very slight earthy. Bit low on the carb. Touch of tartness.”
Overall: “Nicely balanced beer that provides a well-rounded array of flavors. Fruity yet some funk with a slight malt sweetness. Very well-balanced. Very light and dry. This reminds me of drinking a glass of tea with a splash of lemon. Very refreshing in the way a good pils is refreshing. There is nothing that jumps out but all the subtle characters come together nice. A working beer for sure.”
