22 oz bottle provided as a reward for my GABF volunteering efforts...this was a bottle left over after completion of the competition. Pours a four finger oranged light tan head over a brilliant light bright copper liquid. Many streamers rising to feed the head, which is mildly clingy. Smells grassy hoppy with oranges and a little bit of cardboard.
Tastes hoppy with thin malt. Hop is mostly grassy cohumulone with orange and mango flavor and a bit of old hop cheesiness. Malt can't back up the drying grassy hops. I'm left with a very dry mouth that holds some metallic and sour tang. Mouthfeel is as thin as the missing malt...this fermented down too far. I think this makes the hops stand out stronger, further unbalancing the beer.
