3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
aroma is woodsy caramel, pine. appearance is hazy deep gold/amber. medium carb, touch of lacing, pockets of film head linger. flavor is pine, darkened malty, errant fleeting fruits, unique pine character creates balance with excellent caramel. i thought this was an APA as i enjoyed it, the style label here explains some of the ’?’ that floated above my head but nothing explains how interesting and excellent this is.
