2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Appearance: movie theater butter, with a short, vanishing head. Aroma: light malty grains, some herbal and grassy hops. Taste: medium grains against herbal and piney hops, hint of grassy funk. Finish: light and crisp, with a lingering slight bitterness from the hops. Notes: While the bitter notes keep the mouth fresh, the overall palate is smooth. I prefer this with salty food.

Growler purchased at EZ Liquors. Poured a hazy orangey gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma has an initial blast of syrupy sweetness followed by notes of grains, grass, cereal and nutts. Far fuller bodied then I was expecting with an almost syrupy mouthfeel very soft carbonation. Flavor of nutts, grains, cereal and earth. Not bad but I was actually expecting a little bit more from this one since it’s one of Climax’s higher rated beers.
