Brewery: Samuel Adams, The Boston Beer Company; Boston, Mass.
Brew: Imperial White
Pour: Like an apricot syrup! Not at all what I was expecting from a witbier. Rich syrup with almost no head.
Appearance: Rich apricot and gold with a bronze heart. A little yeast protein.
Aroma: Weird. Apricots. Definitely a wheat malt, complete with cloves and vanilla.
First sip: Strong apricot as expected (well, now). A little grapefruit. Cloves, vanilla. Nuttiness.
Mouthfeel: Very heavy. Almost no fizz. Heavy alcohol and syrupy feel.
Finish: Pretty dry. Taste doesn't linger but for just a moment. Maybe a little wood. (that's what she said!)
Notes: Jason says he now hates all other beer. How cute. Personally, I love how different it is from virtually any other beer I've had (thus far). Really, it's a very very good beer. However, this is NOT a good session beer.
