Dragon Door tasting

Dragon Door Ale - Dec 10 (26 days in bottle)

Appearance - Awesome hand-width head; great retention; nice amber, gold brew, basically see-through; a few slow moving particles, trace of gelatin

Smell - Huge hop aroma, Saaz and more Saaz

Taste/Mouthfeel - Smooth nose, thin malt, almost like a lager, or steam beer, into hoppy bang on buds anticipated by the aroma - an extra notch of bitterness hangs on, possibly from the overly-steeped tea - a little strange, but not terrible, just apparent; some slight spicy tang rounds it up, citrusy, ginger, grapefruity, almost lemony to a point...

Drinkability - With its 4.5% alc/vol, it is definitely the best contender for steady drinking that I have yet brewed... I put half of this batch into a Party Pig keg and it was nice drinking it from the keg. Came out super clear... That said, I already have a number of ideas that I think will make this a better brew. Also, flavor-wise it has improved with a bit of mellowing in the bottle, though the kegged portion didnt last too long.
