Poured clear with an inch of tan, frothy foam. Retention is rather good with lacing beginning from get go. Lacing is very sticky.
Aroma is sweet and fruity. A lot of the sweetness seems to stem from the fruits, not tropical though. Definitely different and interesting. I guess the Jaggery is a good place to look to for the sweetness that it imparted on the aroma. Floral notes are also present.
Taste is lots of sweetness up front from caramel malt. Some bitterness in the middle to end with it lasting into the aftertaste. Spice, grassy, and floral hops are all intertwined in the hop profile. The sweet from the aroma and the fruit aren't lost but more subdued in the mouth.
Lot of carbonation tingles on the tip of the tongue but mellows as it reaches your throat. Based on the color expectations were set for heavier beer: light, maybe heavy end of light mouth feel.
I might be biased towards Flossmoor as I try to go there often and get all of their special releases. I haven't been disappointed and Mick Jaggery continues that streak. Regretfully I only had one. Enjoy!
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cliff Clavin, of Cheers
