2nd Story Ale Works Farmhouse Citrus: A Zesty Delight

Starting off this review of the tantalizing 2nd Story Ale Works Farmhouse Citrus, I want to lay out my overall impression right off the bat. This brew snatched a solid 94 out of 100 on my scorecard. Yes, you heard that right. This little delight managed to capture my heart, but also my palate with it’s vibrant and refreshing nature and left me fantasizing about lazy summers and freshly cut fruit.

First Impressions: The Alluring Aroma

Initially, what struck me was the enticing aroma of this quaint brew. Scoring a 12 out of 15, the nose is lightly tinged with a luscious combination of lemon-lime and salinity. It reminded me more of a Mexican lager at first sniff. Unquestionably, it was punchy and vibrant. Furthermore, the delicate herbal undertones provided a depth that balanced out the brightness of the citrus tones. The aroma in itself is refreshing, setting a promising scene for what was to come in terms of flavor.

What Meets The Eye: The Appearance

Now, let’s talk appearance. Appearance is a big deal. Holding the glass against the light, I awarded a respectable score of 3 out of 5. The brew possesses a subtly tart quality, with a very fine, almost dry quality to the visual aesthetic. Although one might argue it needed a little more carbonic fizz, my eyes didn’t mind the absence too much.

A Symphony For Your Taste Buds: Flavor

Moving on to the flavor, the brew delivers a commendable 18 out of 20. Just a sip is enough to send your taste buds on a ride. Despite the brew’s light body, it seamlessly marries a cheery citrus character with a captivating herbal zeal. Yes, it does border on being a tad too light, however, the structured citrus character is simply impossible to not fall in love with.

The Afterthoughts: Mouthfeel

Drawing towards the wrap up of my impressions, with a mouthfeel score of 5 out of 10, I must admit I found it to be a bit thin and watery. However, this doesn’t overshadow the fact that it leaves a lingering zesty tang on your tongue. The overall experience was one of pure refreshment, akin to a fresh spring breeze.

Final Thoughts

Rounding up my review of 2nd Story Ale Works Farmhouse Citrus, I’m inclined to agree with our editors. This brew is light, slightly pithy, but unrelentingly sunny and absolutely delightful. In conclusion, whether you’re a seasoned beer connoisseur or a casual drinker on the lookout for a relaxed brew, this farmhouse citrus ale hits all the right notes.
