tfontana (5594) - Fremont, New Hampshire, USA - MAR 9, 2024UPDATED: MAR 9, 2024 Shared draft with Steve at Armsby Abbey. Opaque dark yellow with nice head, excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong dank herbal with perhaps slight grape. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture soft carbonation and dry finish as taste with light bitterness. Strong but not complex and the “danky” iteration of Nelson versus the more “grapey” version. Well made but not super enjoyable.
