in short: om nom nom
longer: the label is captivating, i think because i'm torn between thinking the woman on it is cute, or that she looks like heath ledger's joker. the beer pours a unique, beige\salmon color and is quite cloudy. pours with a well-crafted head. floral aromas, slightly tangy. the flavor is interesting: it tastes like it could be wild, farmy or funky, but it's not. it's like the sophisticated city cousin to the rustic farmhouse ales that we all so enjoy. slightly acidic at first, the yeast dominates the end. the complexity is neatly constrained. this could easily become one of my favorite beers... i've had it twice in two days now, but both times it was served around 65 degrees; i'd like to taste it cold.
$4.99 for 12 ounces at western market. word is, less than 10 cases came to michigan. we'll be at the montreal brewpub next weekend. i'll take notes.
