RATING

Grassy and grapefruit scents entwine with dank catty wafts as sweet biscuity malts buoy this beer’s bouquet. Those biscuity scents echo in the flavor as they run across the tongue gaining toasted notes along the way. Lustrous grapefruit and lemon dawn in the middle, lightening the biscuit base as sticky pine swells in the back. This beer’s hop presence is bold, but its bitterness packs a pleasant bite, gently drying the tongue as warmth grows in the chest.
