Collaboration Series: Faster, Bigger, Better, Bolder
burnished gold tone with a bit of haze; yields a 1" white head, more spritzy than creamy and with below average retention. a bit a lacing in spots. nose is decidedly fruity / yeasty and accompanied by strong spice notes. not bad, kind of intriguing... whets my appetite for a sip. flavor slaps the palate with a smattering of spice. pepper and coriander are notable along with one or two others i can quite pinpoint... fruit elements are there (citrus and maybe some grape). medium-light on the palate with some zesty carbonation. overall i'm not quite digging this one. it's quaffable, sure, but doesn't work for me - a bit too heavy on the spices IMO. and/or apparently i'm just not into kumquats. interesting to try but won't seek out a revisit.
