Scratch Beer 22 - 2009
Awesome bottle received from bjspicer in my "Scratch" box. Thanks! 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a very cloudy deep gold with the thinnest of white sheets on top. Disappears quickly, leaves not even a hint of lace or ring on the edge. The nose is tamed down from when fresh I'm sure, but I'm still getting hints of citrus rind, bubblegum, and faint spice. It's there, just not very bold. The mouth is still crisp and medium-bodied. Good mild finish. The flavor of this beer has not taken a hit from Father Time. Lots of "still fresh" citrus, mild coriander, old apple, and pear. Very good Wit. I was a little leery going in, as this beer is over a year old, but it has held up very well. Drinkable? Indeed. Thanks, Brian.
