There was lots of head - reminded me of marshmallow fluff in look and motion, a bit. The beer was a bit paler than expected. Still, a nice, clear copper.
In the aroma was sponge toffee, and a slight metal/mineral quality.
The flavour came across as watered down... it had some malt sweetness / toffee, but was gone so fast.
The mouthfeel was light - watery, actually, with a wet, watery, watered-down finish. The carbonation was medium.
The taste was OK, and it went down easy... but it was SO watery. Blandblandbland in the finish, I thought. No character.
I find that a lot of Mill St.'s beers suffer from the light mouthfeel, light flavour, and weak finish. I find Tankhouse very similar that way, or at least recent batches of Tankhouse.
ReplyDeleteI recently had their Biere de Garde in the latest mixed six pack and was very, very impressed with it. Very well made beer.
I saw that new seasonal sampler and was kind of intrigued... I hate how a couple of new / interesting beers force you to buy a sixer in which one or more or mediocre or worse. I think you're right about recent batches of Tankhouse, too. Seems lighter.
