3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. An unclear amber beer with a thin lazing orangey head. The aroma has strong notes of flowery hops as well as notes of sweet malt, alcohol, and fruit - leaning on being over ripe. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits, hops, fresh peaches, and fresh grapefruits, leading to a very bitter finish. More like a BW in my book.
