First sip is a little funkier than I normally like my beer, but the fruits are pretty solid, and the malt is ... well, it's there, I guess. It's not really asserting itself as much as I'd hoped, and it isn't bringing anything interesting to the party. Instead, it lets the funk dictate the dance, and that's not a beat I'm inclined to hit the floor with (mind you, this is a terrible metaphor - I don't dance).
Tip-in is an unexpected bread malt with light carbonation burn and tangerines. The middle rolls with a very nice juicy smoothness of tangerine, grapefruit, starfruit, apricot, and plum with the malt lingering underneath, doing its job. The finish is a funky hit of dryness as the juices flee and the bread malt flashes before the funky, musty trail-off.
Bottom Line: Unsettled and unrefined, it still pulls off a unique taste.
2.5/5
