3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught, Kona Brewpub, HI.
Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, caramel), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin, apricot), with notes of peach, tangerine, and soap.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, heavily bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Distinct soapy smell came on as this one warmed and slowly made it quite off-putting (original aroma score was a 7). None of the other beers in our sampler had this problem, so I’m not convinced it’s as simple as a poorly rinsed glass.
