02FEB15, Against the Grain, Louisville, KY
Draft, chalice
Pours a slightly orange golden color with small off white head. Aroma is big citrus hop. Can smell the bitter. Doesn't seem as dank as described. Wait now. Warming. Okay I'm back. I audibly went "mmmmmmmm" (at least 3 syllables, log and drawn out). There's a tiny hint of pineapple, ever-so-slightly caramelized, which is briefly introduced, then little-bo-peep-hook-ed off the stage by some smoke laced with bitterness. Uh oh. Maybe it's bitter laced with smokeness. Definitely more dank and grassy on the nose now. Still with an identifiable bitter aroma. And a hint of smoke? Like distant smoke signals...
As it continues to warm, there's a roasty smoke--almost char--that sticks to the heart of the tongue, letting sweetness dance around it on the way to the gullet. What an interesting change from the bitter bombardment that preceded it. Yet the finish, while smoky-ish, has confidently bitter overtones, reminding you that yes, goddamnit, the patriots did win the super bowl.
