Keeping Together Thoughts Without a Thinker

“Aroma has some citrus notes, straw or hay aroma. Light pome-fruit esters. Crisp hop bitterness balances a slightly sweet malt body. Medium fruity esters of pear and some light spicy notes add interest. Simple, but easy-drinking and well balanced.”

“Aroma has a lovely gin-barrel character—not-overwhelming juniper, more eucalyptus, mint, botanicals. Perked up nicely by the lemony fermentation character, and some Peach Rings add a little sweetness. Zips across the tongue with lively acidity; the gin barrel’s minty-menthol quality is an accent. Wood provides nice tannic structure.”

__Aroma:__ “Light citrus and grapefruit pith, and orange, grapefruit, and lime, complemented by light lactic sourness. Fruity and juicy on the nose, with an ever-so-slight wheat character malt at the back.” __Flavor:__ “Starts off with light sweetness and orange juiciness, and then becomes very tart citrus and lightly pithy. Notes of hops bitterness come in, along with lemon and lime. Strong lactic acid and bright acidity that linger in the back and on the cheeks. Salt carries throughout and is really fantastic. The finish is clean and sweet and tart, inviting you back for another sip.” __Overall:__ “Huge citrus bomb that has great tartness and sweetness with acidity that’s through the roof—like a Warheads candy. Juicy and thirst-quenching, and the touch of salt would make you want to drink more, while hitting the spot. An interesting contrast of flavors with some complexity and character.”
