A: Pours from the can a hazy copper with hints of brown towards the center and yellow along the edges into my Russian River -tion snifter. A wispy white head leaves sticky lacing down the side of the glass. 4
S: The citrus hops really balance out well with the caramel malts on this. The aroma is very bready, but bitter from a ton of hops, and sweet from caramel and citrus. 4.5
T: The taste is very hop focused. Far more citrus than I was expecting. The breadiness and caramel malts are noted, but they aren’t as prevalent as in the smell. The finish is very bitter. 4.5
MF: Light, carbonated well, crisp, and a dry finish. 4
O: This beer was phenomenally drinkable. The focus of hops with the maltiness still coming forward makes this one I wanted to drink far more than a single can of. 4.5
4.43 / 5 A
A: On the clear side of hazy brown in color, the pour was quite active out of the bottle. Lots of bubbly head rises up and billows over my tulip as perhaps I poured a bit too vigorously. The head is sticky, creamy, and leaves wonderful lacing down the side of the glass. 4
S: The amount of hops and malts on this is phenomenal. The caramel and breadiness of the malts honestly take over the hops a little bit. Not to be deterred, the hops bring out grapefruit and some slight pine that is very nice. 4.5
T: The taste follows the smell famously. Caramel malts create a delicious backbone for citrusy hops and a dry hop finish. Balanced very well and deliciously dry throughout. 4.5
MF: Light, crisp, dry finish, and no hint of alcohol. 4
O: This beer is one I like to call dangerously drinkable. The balance of the malts and hops, the dryness of the beer throughout, really just everything make this a beer you absolutely have to try. 5
