RATING
89
This clear, deep golden beer holds up a thin, off-white blanket of head. Earthy, piney hop scents float up from the beer, blending with floral and toasted notes for an enticing bouquet. Mt. Tam transitions beautifully on the tongue: Beginning with toasted flavors, the beer segues into a floral, woodsy hop profile sweetened by pronounced honey notes. Alone, the beer’s hop flavors are a joy, but the added honey sweetness accentuates their presence, creating a truly delicious, rare pale ale experience.
