The absolute very last from the keg and the lines, might not have been in the best of conditions. It’s up for a re-rate the next time I see it for sure.
Hazy amber color, big creamy lasting head. Smells very fresh and fruity of hops. Malty and rather bitter taste, perhaps a bit too much on the bitter side for my personal preference. Thin body, most likely due to the state the beer was poured. Rather high bitterness. It does promise good things, even though I didn’t get as much as I wanted. Will for sure try to get it again and will recommend others to try it as well.
