2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (caramel), moderately hoppy (resin), lightly yeasty (dough, sweat), with light notes of honey and bug spray.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter, slightly unclean.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Rather one-dimensional raw/resinous hop note, and some fusel alcohol make the aroma less enticing than hoped. Rather tart with a somewhat unpleasant aftertaste. Not undrinkable, but poor.
