Brewer's Art Le Canard
Appearance: Pours a cloudy apricot color with a huge head that leaves copious lace Smell: Pound cake, candi sugar, stone and tropical fruit along with a hint of vanilla Taste: Cakey, up front, with some peppery spicing and a developing tropical fruit character; throughout the progression, there are some funky bitter medicinal flavors, followed by a sweet candi sugar influenced aftertaste that persists, although the predominate flavors are dry Mouthfeel: Light to medium body; very fizzy Drinkability: This beer didn't thrill me and it is hard to pinpoint why; it has a lot of complexity and hits many of the style points, but there is something about the sweetness and the herbacious medicinal flavor that I didn't enjoy Thanks to brewandbbq for the chance to re-visit
