Today's flight. When I've done this set of four, I have exhausted the selection of this watering hole. So, here we go. Flight 1/4. Transparent, deep gold beer. A clean white, short foam. The scent is numb. What?? The taste offers corn, lemon peel and resin. Should also give chipotle but it remains camouflaged to me. The mouthfeel is light, a bit tangy, slightly dry and drying. A couple of decimals off because of the unrecognizable chipotle.

Flight 4/4 (2). Relatively transparent, straw to pale yellow beer. A minuscule-bubbled lacing. A modestly weedy floral olfactory presence, like dandelion. The gustatory universe offers stuffy bitter wheat malt, brett, lemon pith... and dandelion? Light is this one, too, as well as earthy, tangy, dry, drying and astringent. Back to basics. Falls behind the other three.

Flight 3/4 (2). Clear, rose gold tinted beer. A clean white, dense moussy crown. Sustained. Jasmin in the fragrance. My goodness, it's super lovely! As if strawberry, too? It grows in intensity when the beer gets warmer. And horse stable. Strawberry actually is the first flavor that I spot in the taste, as well. Something floral, too. Like sweet-leaning. Beetroot would remain unidentified, did I not know it was there. Wheat malt and a tad brettanomyces. The mouthfeel is light, juicy, marginally earthy, floral, medium-tart, a tad puckering, acidic and... astringent (who guessed?). Innovative!

Flight 2/4 (2). Limpid gold beer. A subdued white-grayish lace ring. Wheat malt in the air. Only? Only! Cherry lands on my tongue, followed by wheat malt, purple gooseberry and nectarine. The sensation is considerably tart and puckering, light, flat, astringent (again!) and juicy. The end of the tap row seems to give challenges. I like it!

I'm not finished, yet. Here we go! Flight 1/4 (2). Translucent, deep copper beer. A soft medium-white foam. Distant sour caramel in the air. Bitter. Purple gooseberry, dark plum, red wine, oakwood (despite being "sans barrique") and wheat malt land on my taste receptors. The mouthfeel is substantially tart and puckering, juicy, acidic, and even a bit astringent. My enamel is history!

Flight 4/4 (1). Translucent, brilliant beer, the color is the lightest, like a mix of champagne and Pommac. Copious ginger emanates to my nostrils. Nice! The gustatory sphere puts forward relatively intensive fresh ginger mixed with sour apricot and pink grapefruit. The experience is spiced, piquant, tingly, juicy and a tad tart. And light. The best of the flight. Edit: I didn't realize this is such a low ABV beer. A big success given the ABV.

Flight 3/4 (1). Lucid, straw beer. The most impotent lacing of these four, almost zero. A peppery scent. And spicy. This is getting interesting... The tastebuds enjoy hefty sour peach, lemongrass and Sichuan pepper. However, the spicy element is first moderate, but then, more or less disappears from the mouth. I wish it stayed. This contains brettanomyces but I can't recognize it at all, neither in the air, nor on the tongue. The mouthfeel is light-medium, tart, puckering, drying, spiced and faintly piquant.

Flight 2/4 (1). Transparent, deep copper beer. Looks even strawberry juice colored from above. A thin lace ring only. The fragrance is floral and bitter caramelly. Difficult to identify. The palate gives floral nuances, probably hibiscus since I haven't tasted daffodil; escorted by herbal tea, bitter caramel and wheat malt. The sensation is light, floral, herbal, moderately tart, juicy. Somewhat unsuccessful this one, too. Edit: This seems to also contain beetroot. I didn't find it.  🤦🏼‍♂️

Okay, today's flight 1/4 (1). Almost fully hazy, yellow beer with a faint lime green hue. A restrained off-white lacing. A suppressed citrusy scent, can't nail it down in more detail. Grapefruit peel and pulp, lemon, a floral twist and wheat malt on the tongue. Feels light minus, pithy, slightly crisp and moderately drying. Unimpressive, unfortunately.
