Been a little while since I did one of these, and this had been sitting in my fridge for a few weeks so....
Picked it up for $5. Barely fit the whole bottles worth in my 24oz Pilsner glass.
A: Copper colored, about 1 fingers worth of head that dissipates fairly quickly down to a thin layer. Lots of lacing present, with firm small bubbles. Fairly transparent, with a slight murkiness.
N: Mild spicy hops at first. No alcohol in the nose, wouldn't expect it anyways. Light on the malt character so far, but doesn't seem like the hops are overpowering
T: Surprisingly light hops taste for being as present in the nose as it was. Juniper is up front, along with a mysterious fruity taste that I can't place. Very reminiscent of my name sake, Old Fezziwig. Second taste and I found the hops. Like most British style beers, it's lurking in the back of the sip.
M: Fairly light body, low carbonation. No noticeable alcohol here either. The spiciness of the hops certainly changes the mouth feel from what I'm used to, but that's not a bad thing. Variety is nice after all
D: As a winter warmer type ale, drinking a lot of this wouldn't be easy. While the body is light enough, it fills you up fast. Best served as a dessert or in lieu of a evening cocktail. Would also compliment ice cream very nicely.
Well, not much else to say. I'm certainly going to pick up another bottle and save it for the summer, so I don't have to go so long before the next offering.
