This was stunningly good. Fine stout with some sweetness and barrel-aged notes. And I'll note, I tend to hate barrel-aged beers. But this was really good.
Bubblegum on the scent; flavor is a very weird mix of estery, yeasty German weisse with high alpha bubblegum and grassy hop. I just couldn't make these flavors work together in my mind.
Bready ale with mild caramel flavors and a lot of banana esters. Body is somewhere in the middle of dry and sweet; the taste is good but maybe on the thin side to be truly refreshing. This is described as a Belgian brown but to me it tasted more Germanic, like a dunkelweizen.
I know they call this a pale, but there's a lot more blonde / lager grassy yeast funk in this beer than I would ever assign to a pale. The opening is a bit watery, bit of a fruity-hop character, but the finish is all grass funk. If you don't me, that means I liked it.
