Autumn Fall
Containing barley, oats, wheat, and rye, this is a multigrain beer. BB 11/11/2007, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass. A: bright copper-ish hue, off-white foamy head with o.k. retention; constant streams of gentle fizziness. S: caramely malts and mildly sour-sweet wheatiness on top of almost "winey" note of fermented ryes; almost no trace of hops. T: very light burned-sugary sweetness plus a smooth flow of roasted maltiness prevail upfront, backed by a lighter, sour-grainy edge of ryes and dates; turning dry-ish, licorice-root like herbal bitter in the aftertaste, coupled with a feather-light grainy sweetness and more winey ryes to linger in the end. M&D: light-bodied and mildly spritzy, with mixed maltiness on balance with an underlying hop bitter aftertaste. Easy-drinking autumny bitter this is. Not bad, and I'm sure it's much better on draught.
