Dave's BrewFarm Sinistra
Dave's BrewFarm Sinistra. * (not to be confused with Green Lantern villain Sinestro) Sinister is Latin for left. Dave's explanation is that this one was made with left-over ingredients. I don't have specifics on hand, I can only recall that is supposed to be hoppy and Belgian-y. Just going to open it up and find out what it's all about.
Lightly hazed and highly carbonated, pale orange, fringing on crimson. Decent head of ivory bubblation, trims down to a slim ring in no time.
Aroma: that wonderful, fruity Belgian funk exudes from the glass immediately. Orange and clove and that inimitable, unnameable, ethereal something. Lemon and pepper and mystical musk. That sounds about right.
Taste: Remarkably smooth and easy on entering the palate. Belgian yeast is tasted, certainly, delicious malty flavor, and a tidy offering of hops. Mmmm, yes.
I'll repeat a few key words as consumption continues…tasty…delicious…defiantly downable. I hadn't mentioned that, it's true…but, it's true. Strikes an amazingly appropriate balance.
This might be some other brewery's exceptional pale ale, or Belgian IPA. At the BrewFarm, it's another example of everyday deliciousness.
