Backbone: ? ![]() Celery Salt, Earl Grey Tea, Malt Vinegar, Cat Pee, Sherry, Sweat ![]() Sugared Pink Grapefruit, Honey, Cherry Juice, Sage, Lemon Balm, Almond Butter, Chamomile, Lemon Marmalade ![]() $6 | 1x 11.5oz bottle Tart, sugary and a smidgen ammonia like in bouquet, this ale is intensely citric and clawing upon first sip. Treacle toffee bitterness and a raw capsaicin heat provide solid structure on the mid palate before the ale waves a surprisingly soothing elixir smooth goodbye. This will hold most appeal for those with a palate preconditioned or tempered by more approachable barley wines. | ||||||
