Black Shirt Brewing Stringbender
What the brewers say
“Bright orange and tangerine aroma with a hint of pear and apricot, all of which complement the spicy, earthy yeast characteristics.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Super peach-forward throughout, like Peachie-O candies. Clove and white pepper. Fruity hops notes—some melon and tropical notes. Some cracker malt background.”
Flavor: “Peeeeeaches. Very low sweetness, although there’s an impression of sweetness because of the peach, with moderate bitterness. Peppery phenolics. Low sour. Dry overall finish.”
Overall: “An interesting and evolving beer that gives a super-peachy initial impression but becomes fairly dry and spicy in both aroma and flavor.”
