I smelled peaches and pine. rye malt taste that goes to a tingly grass and citrus backbone. tingly acidic bitter finish has some spice to it. even burnt vibe overall - ok, but not my thing. jstraw (777), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Lengthy, bitter, astringent, dry finish. Kudos to dchmela for sharing his bottle at the Throwdown!
