3.95/5  rDev 0%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Clear, dark woody orange with a tea-stained, decent in size but poor in structure.

Smell: Painfully weak, but interesting. The malt foundation provides a fruity toffee sweetness with a cocoa-tinged roasty character. Meager hops add mild esters. Bananas fried in butter come to mind.

Taste: Toasty almonds and sweet white grape juice interrupted by a torrent of hops near the finish. Aromatic and herbal, sweet but well-balanced and dry in the finish with a sticky bitterness. Good, but could benefit from a slightly deeper malt profile.

Mouthfeel: Smooth and medium-bodied. Mild and even.

Drinkability: Nice. Not great, but nice. It could use a bit more oomph or else a bit more depth, but it's enjoyable as it is.
