Bottled. Amber colour, average head. Soapy, hoppy grapefruit aroma. Dry with clean mouthfeel. Grapefruit & apricot jam in the finish along with salty licorice and a healthy dose of of bitterness. All focus on the hops. Technical perfection, but lack of soul.

1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 1/20
Bottle... Mostly clear orange ale with a small, frothy, white head. Good retention. The aroma and flavor are of boiled shellfish; shrimp and mussels, specifically. This batch is just a DMS bomb! I’ve never smelled or tasted levels this high! Light to medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, dry finish. Absolute drain pour! Infection? Closed boil? A shame! There was potential here...
