3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very happy to get to try this, from a growler brought to the JRHB meeting. Totally missed who brought it, but huge thanks! Aroma was slightly sweet caramel accented malt, with a grassy and slightly piney hop aroma. Flavor was a match, grassier perhaps than what you would normally expect, but that was probably a byproduct of the beer being brewed very shortly after the harvest. Faint grapefruit on finish. A very solid APA!

The taste is intense herbal hop notes, fairly strong melon and a hint of citrus. Pale malts. Lingering hop burn. Medium bodied. Nice beer.
