3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A delightful caramel and pine aroma wafts from the glass. A hint of grapefruit is noted with more careful observation. This beer is topped by a nice chewy tan head that has some interesting formations. The beer itself is copper colored with moderate carbonation. Nice tart and bitter hop profile. Pine and citrus. Biscuit and caramel. Throw in some toffee and peppery spice. Everything works very well together. Another winner from Big Sky.
