Cloudwater Brew Co.

Pours a hazy, deep golden amber coloration with a a medium fluffy head. Smell is a little subdued, with some biscuity malt and somewhat faint citrus/tropical and herbal accents coming through, with tangerine and coconut being most noticeable. Taste is great balance of biscuity malt and soft citrus/tropical notes of grapefruit, tangerine, papaya and coconut, as well as some minty herbal accents. Finishes with a light bitterness and some tangerine, coconut and mint lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

While this kinda lacks the vibrant, well-defined hop aromatics and flavor profile that I'm used to from Cloudwater, there's still a very nice, soft and subtle balance of citrus, tropical and herbal hop notes to it, with the Sabro standing out particularly with some distinct coconut and mint notes, while a certain hint of booziness unfortunately also creeps in during the aftertaste. All in all, I found this just a little disappointing coming from Cloudwater, although it does say a lot about a brewery when a beer feels disappointing because it is merely very good instead of exceptional.
