Astral Decay
Nepenthe Brewing Co.

Poured into a narrow pint glass: color is straw gold, hazy/opaque, head is off white and presents one finger thick, head dissipates to solid top and plenty of lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is subdued with notes of citric rind, light earth and pine, light bread and toast.

Taste is similar with citric, light herbal and pine notes, some bread and biscuit malt.

Mouthfeel is lower carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness, some soft wheat component.

Overall a softer, less malty APA than most or true to style versions but still very drinkable

12 ounce can poured into a tumbler pint glass.

L: Slightly hazy gold, 2” bone-white foam, thick foam, good retention, leaves lace.
S: Nice, tropical and dank, hints of orange.
T: Resinous, low sweetness, medium bitterness, only hints of malt, aftertaste is bitter pine and citrus peel.
F: Medium body, high carbonation, crisp at first but softens considerably by the end of the glass.
O: Nice, big new world hop flavor but not fruity or juicy.
