I had this one on-tap and it was flat and underhopped. Surprised when I saw the high ratings on here, maybe I just had a bad batch or something? I clearly had a different beer...

L: Pours hazy orange amber under a frothy 3” slightly yellow tinted cream colored sticky foam cap that takes 5 minutes to drop to 1/4 its original size. S: Earthy, woody herbal hop nose with some bread crumb. T: Caramel bread crumb seasoned with tropical fruit leading to an assertive but not harsh bitter finish. It is a tonic type bitterness that balances well with the tropical fruit.
F: Very creamy and luscious with a slight carbonic bite. The body is medium to medium full and the carbonation is medium. Although it has a mild alcohol warming the alcohol flavors are hidden behind the hops and malt.
O: This is a big beer that can stand in for any bitter mixed drink.
