Appearance: hazy near-opaque slightly dirty medium gold with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: coriander, wheat, grapefruit, faint tropical fruit. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light spice. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration slightly spicy finish. (3/5)
I was pleased to see Vic Secret in the hop list on the label, but unfortunately I can’t say I’m getting a lot of that in the aroma or flavour profiles. That being said, I’m not sure how well those kind of fruit flavours would really work with the coriander/clove note one normally expects with a White. It’s not terrible, but it is a bit muddled. (13/20)
