3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
32oz growler from Party Source, shared with DanielCoor. Clear dark brown color. Good thin light khaki head. Decent splotches of lace. Medium to bigger body. More dry in the finish. Light, smooth, kind of crisp carbonation, little bit soft in the texture. Good herbal mint aroma... Went into this looking at it as a mint beer, and it’s satisfyingly minty. Not a mint bomb, though... I’d say less minty or as minty as DFH Red and White, from what I remember. Light chocolate, little roast. Mint is featured, it’s cool. And cooling. Good balance, you could say, if you’re a mint lover. Light bitter taste, mostly. Definitely not for everyone, but I’m very much enjoying it.

Draft sample. Poured clear brown color with an average fizzy tan head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Solid mint and toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium mint sweet flavor with a medium mint sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Draft to taster. Looks good; brown with foamy beige head. Smells malty and minty. Tastes like it smells, but worse, with an unpleasant mouthfeel. WAY too minty.

Clear brown in color... Aroma of mint, malts... Flavor is minty, with notes of roasted malts... Fairly thin, not that complex other than the mint notes... Decent

Draught at REAL A Gastropub, Honolulu, HI
Black color. Light aroma of roasted malt and soil. The mouthfeel is lean, with mild roasted malt flavor, quite dry, with dark chocolate shavings, to which the mint (or basil) adds a very nice freshness; correct bitterness.
In the Hawaii weather, it’s an interesting and refreshing option.
