Huge thanks to OrosO for sending me this. A pronounced tip-of-the-hat to Dave for nailing 10,000 rates. Well done sir. The 32oz crowler pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up mango, sweet malts, sweetened grapefruit juice and a dash of soft cantaloupe. The taste is code-black dangerously drinkable. I’m seated, the cat is seated. . . . Here we go. I get smooth malt sweetened and softened bitter grapefruit citrus hops rolling quickly toward juicy mango and cantaloupe. Behind that is a perfectly integrated pine hop bitterness. Instead of creating modest island of bitter hoppiness it is rather pulled into the soft malt sweetened grapefruit. Good gravy. This is going down far too easily. Are we still seated?
