Taster from flight – 05/17/2015
A: Dark caramel body with a faint copper hue and again some really nice sparkling clarity through the body. A thick white froth lands over top for some time before finally settling out. A spread of sticky webbed lacing decorates my glass throughout the drink.
S: Big malt punch to the nose loaded with warm breads and toasted caramel. Albeit very green, dank, and herbal with the hops. Some pine elements mixed in and a light underpin of grapefruit zest. A bit malty at first but the hops really start to shine through on this one which I love.
T: There is a real green juiciness to this one with some solid bitter astringency going on. I get all kinds of herbal leafy dank styles here with some lesser notes of citrus grapefruit. Plenty of bready malt to balance with a touch of caramel sweetness tucked in the back. Finishes dryer with some nice resinous qualities and a little alcohol flavor peaking its way through.
M: Semi moderate fullness to the body on account of the bready malts. Still remains light and creamy on the tongue with its carbonation and an upper amount of hop bitterness. Finishes out dry with a long lasting oily linger.
D: Pretty solid with a nice balance between the danky hop bitterness and bready malt base. Nothing that is going to contend for the Alpha King here but my favorite house offering so far.

Very nice look and feel. There is a bitter bite to this brew but It has a smooth taste up front!
