3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 21, 2009
Murky amber with a thin white head. Aroma of soap, pine, grapefruit and bready malts. Taste of heavy hops, though the hops aren’t terribly flavorful. Finish is a medium bitter that lasts quite some time, not the greatest of finishes. A little burnt malt mixed into the finish and mild caramel tries to sneak its way into the flavor as well.
