Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Peach, white wine, fresh cut wood, solvant, grapefruit juice.
Taste: Alcohol and more alcohol. White grape, tangerine, tannins for days. Hot!
Mouthfeel: Juicy, astringent, moderate bubbles.
Overall: A very difficult beer to drink. The concept sounds great, and I would imagine you wouldn’t be able to treat a beer with lower alcohol on 6 different types of wood. Surly makes consistently great beer, but this was an experiment with no so great results.
