위드머 브라더스 브루 - 아케미 에일 5.8% ABV 열대과일 류의 근사한 향을 가지고 있지만 단조로운 맛에 담백한 테일. 이정도 맥주에 연금술 네이밍은 좀 오바인듯

Draft - Lots of caramel and some ok hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Caramel and balanced hops. Very East coast, but decent.
On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper with small white head that leaves spotty lacing. The aroma is pine and citrus. Medium mouth, light bitter hop bite, light bitterness, good.
On tap at Rock & Brews, LAX. Pours clear amber with creamy head and modest hop aroma. Neither hops nor malts dominate the taste but there’s a bit of bite in the tail. Overall a decent APA.
Pours clear old gold with a medium off-white head with decent retention; leaves a little lace. Aroma is catty, grapefruit, a little earth. Taste is lightly bittersweet with lots of citrus notes, a tinge of metal, biscuity flavors. Lingering light bitter finish. Highly carbonated with a medium body. Good.
Pours a lovely pale amber. Small head but decent lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, grassy hops, and bready caramel. Light and soft mouthfeel. Initial taste is citrus hops with a hint of pine, then doughy malt. Tastes a bit watered down. Finishes slightly bitter and metallic. I miss Drifter...
Berry like fruitiness in aroma with grapefruit, caramel, and bread Pours a hazy golden amber color with small white head. Sweet minerally bready flavor with fruity hops, grapefruit, caramel. Medium bodied with medium co2, lingering sticky bittersweet finish Decent pale ale. Not as good as drifter in my opinion. Bummed they replaced it.
In bottiglia. Colore arancio, piuttosto limpida, schiuma fine e poco persistente. Aroma di frutta esotica non molto intenso, frutta gialla ed a seguire caramello, mou e fieno. Al palato corpo medio, gasatura non eccessiva, aroma dapprima di frutta esotica e pesca che svanisce rapidamente per lasciare spazio ad un caramello troppo intenso e stucchevole. Birra che ha perso la sua parte aromatica donata dal luppolo.
신선하면서 봄, 여름에 정말 잘 어울리는 맥주. 전용잔,코스터 모두 이뻐요.
Pour out of bottle, hazy golden orange pour with white head, aroma brought notes of orange peel, grain, biscuit, some slight lemon into a bit of grass, slight piney notes into a bit of spice. Taste was a mix of grass, grain, bread into a bit of pine, some orange, slight caramel with a hint of pine, finishing slightly bitter.
355ml bottle (Oak Barrel, Vantaa)
Pleasant fruity hoppy aroma, lots of caramelly biscuity malts. Dull sweet caramelly malts. Watery palate. some minerally harshness. Finish gently bitter. Extremely boring ale.
Si presenta con un bell’arancio, medio, velato con lievi riflessi dorati. La schiuma è poca, beige e cremosa, ma con persistenza quasi nulla. Al naso straripante è la presenza dei sentori di frutta matura (pesca gialla su tutti), sopraffatta dal miele e dalla carruba sul finale. Il corpo è nella media, molto morbido, con una carbonazione essenziale. Il gusto però è leggermente stucchevole, troppo dolce, con presenza di un leggero sentore resinoso e con un amaro finale erbaceo di lieve persistenza. Il sorso, così, diventa rotondo, per nulla secco, che non lascia una bella sensazione di pulizia.
