App- Amber to dark orange, it has nice clarity and a tan, creamy head.
Aroma- Slight grapefruit from the hops, bready malt aroma.
Taste- Malt flavor dominates with hop bitterness at the end. Sourness present, with the taste of Granny Smith apples.
Mouthfeel- Tart dryness, not astringent.
Very good beer, not as balanced as I would like to see, a little too malty.
