Scratch Beer 14 - 2008
Pours a hazy golden yellow complete with lots of floaties with 2 fingers of bright white frothy head. OK retention leaves some nice clinging lacing. Smells of clove, peppery spices, yeasty bread, apples, and grass. Tastes of apple, lemon, pineapple, clove, pepper, honey, yeasty funk, and pale bread malt with a grassy bitterness that starts out strong at the beginning but eventually fades away, along with a touch of alcohol warmth. Medium in body with nice carbonation. A touch syrupy but also quite airy and pleasant, smooth and crisp with good balance. Enjoyable and decent, but not one of my top selections from Troegs.
