I'm a big fan of Widmer's Anniversary brews and when I saw this one today I just had to try it.
It's good, but...
Pours a deep, amber black with a tan head that was slightly disappointing. Bubbles were too large and it broke apart too quickly.
Aroma is primarily citrus (grapefruit) hops without a lot of sweet malt which surprised me considering the amount of black malt they had to use. Slight wet newspaper scent which I could have done without.
The brew is smooth on the tongue and the carbonation doesn't overpower, nor do the hops overly dry the mouth.
The taste is a surprising balance of the malt and hops. Like a faint dusting of sugar on your fresh cut grapefruit, the malt mellows rather than sweetens allowing the IPA hop goodness to come thru in all of it's glory.
Unfortunate metallic aftertaste MAKES you take another sip, just to clean your mouth.
It reminds me of Mendicino's Black Eye Stout, a brew I was particularly fond of.
