another decent brew ruined by dry leaves flavor... i need to know what malt and hop combination spawns this foul concoction... ugh.... to add more it looks pretty good but is ruined by a pervasive dry leaves hops and malt aroma and taste (?!?)

Growler obtained from the cooler at Stein Hall.
Poured into my 08 Pioneer stein, formed a 1" off-white head over clear reddish gold brew. Creamy head falls slowly, with thick, lasting lace, lots of bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is balanced, agreeable, not too showy. Taste starts with a peek of sweet pale maltiness, quickly giving way to a citrusy middle, and closes with a touch of bitterness. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth, with excellent drinkability. Good go-to, sessionable brew. Could be a bit more red in color, but that would probably be splitting hairs.
