3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark red/orange with a decent fizzy head. Nose is quite odd & seems a little tart, something i am finding common of t’ij beers. Its not offputting, just seems a little out of character given style and actual palate. Mild pear/apple dominate the nose with spice as well. Palate brings malt into the equation, some mild caramel before yeast character takes hold. Finishes with lively carbonation and some yeast spice.
