Neutron is a complex trappist ale made moreso by our adjunct additions of licorice root and Earl Grey tea. An abbundance of aroma hops limit the bitterness of this deep reddish-copper malt-forward ale. Late-stage additions of Australian Pacific Gem, Wai-iti, and Motueka allow a myriad of tropical and citrus fruit notes shine through on the nose and the beginning taste stages. The hop character dissipates into a richly-sweet chocolate caramelly body with slight dried cherry esters and a dry earthy finish. A natural sweetness provided by the licorice root permeates the entirety of the tasting. Very much a strange brew that somehow works.
