Justin:
Aroma - Mild sweet grainyness with slightly floral and perfumey hops |
Score: 8/12 |
Appearance - The head stuck around for a while which was nice. The beer pours very clear. |
Score: 3/3 |
Flavor - There was a fairly dry finish and some bitterness is tasted from start to finish. The malt could be more balanced. |
Score: 15/20 |
Mouthfeel - Medium carbonation, medium body. |
Score: 4/5 |
Overall Impression - This is yet another "Barbecue beer" for warm weather. When Marc Gottfried left Morgan Street for Kraftig, he left some pretty big shoes to fill. The thing that truly was allowed to happen with his absence was some more variety from the new Morgan Street brewers (They released their first IPA EVER just in the last few years!). Keep an eye out for some exciting things from these guys in the near future. |
Score: 7/10 |
Blake:
Aroma - Malty graininess with just a bit floral hops. |
Score: 8/12 |
Appearance - Clear gold (almost leaning towards copper), with a head that lingers just a bit. |
Score: 3/3 |
Flavor - More bitterness from the hops than the aroma lets on. Not a huge amount of malt, but still pleasant nonetheless. |
Score: 14/20 |
Mouthfeel - Thin body with medium carbonation. Pretty standard for the style. |
Score: 3/5 |
Overall Impression - Morgan Street has been around for a while, but doesn't seem to get as much love as a lot of other breweries in town. Not sure if it has to do with them being on the landing, where more people seem to visit to dance than to drink their beer. However, they've made some strides in the past few years in releasing some nice beers. They don't really have the special releases that most breweries need to get people to keep interest, but they are nothing to scoff at. |
Score: 7/10 |
