4.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Aroma is malty with a slight hint of what smells almost like chocolate - interesting and complex. The appearance was cloudy with a honey-like color, small head that seemed to dissipate quickly. The taste bitter sweet - one can surely taste the sweet malts and the bitter hops both separately and in tandem. The palate was amazing. Seemingly, this beer has four different and distinct tastes depending on where this beer resided. Hoppy, malty, bitter, full, soft carbonation - very refreshing to have such a complex palate. Sweet on the tip to hoppy in the back of my mouth. Overall, this beer would be a full twenty out of twenty, but the aroma could use some help. Maybe with a slightly more lively carbonation it would help with carrying the aroma. So many hops probably doesn’t help with head retention with the hop oils present and carbonation might help with that as well. But, just my opinion.

Pours amber with a small off-white head. Malty carmel aroma. Lightly sweet malty and a little bitter flavor. Mouthfeel is full with a strong hops bite. Malt and caramel in smell. Little roasty and very rich in flavor. Slighty strong hops with very good mouthfeel. A lingering slightly bitter, smoked carmel aftertaste. Very pleasant.

Poured hazy, golden/copper with a bubbly, slowly receding head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste was well-balanced with citrus hops coming through in the middle. Slight sweetness made the malt enjoyable as well. A good session beer.

Bottle from the Village Bottle Shop. This is a very good beer. Pours amber with a thin white head. The aroma is subtle but pleasant and intriguing, with notes of sweet honey and malt. The beer is medium bodied and has a solid, robust feel. The flavor is understated and controlled but incredibly balanced. It’s slightly sweet, with some earthy malt, bread and hops. The finish is clear and balanced. The beer isn’t dominated by any one of these elements, but altogether it’s quite a pleasurable elixir.

very good beer with a strong character and aftertaste. Very complex blend of malts and hops make this beer very bitter and pours with a dark color. Wonderful beer
