Taros Topology #6 : Appearance, Aroma, and Taste
Taros Topology #6 poured out a hazy vibrant orange colour, which for some reason didn’t come through that well in the picture above. The head was thick and sticky, with a pure white colour to it, and as the beer went down, it left thick sticky rings around the edge of the glass.
What an aroma on this beer! Lashings of fruit – both citrus and tropical – were screaming to get out of the glass. Lemon and orange, mango and pineapple, all tied together with a medium sweetness that was supporting but not cloying. As it warmed up, the aroma did gain intensity, but never outstayed its welcome. There weren’t any noticeable off-aromas in the beer.
The body carried on with the same theme of citrus and tropical notes, but combined with a smooth, well-rounded bitterness, and a underlying sweetness which again supported the hoppy flavours, Taros Topology #6 was really a delight to drink. I wish I had picked up more cans!
Taros Topology #6 : The Bottom Line
A great first effort from Taros Brewing – more of this please.
