FoolishMortal (948), San Diego, California, USA Sep 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Deep orange with red tinges, small off white head. Sweet malt, earthen herbal hops, and a buttery note in the aroma. Slight alefruit and caramel malt flavors, with lingering diacetyl. Somewhat coarse herbaceous hop character then manifests. Hop flavors devolve into a medicinal twang in the finish, accompanied by appley malt. Mouthfeel is a light medium.
