Wow. I was blown away by this beer. Aroma left something to be desired, but the "generous hoping rates" were spot on. This has a lot of floral hop flavor, and at 5 percent, is now by go-to session beer. Extremely well done.

Nice beer. Good full body with a yeasty flavor reminiscent of home brew. Good malty flavors and tangy hops to boot. Nice effort.

Pours a clear sparkling medium copper. The tall, dense white creamy head is fully lasting with excellent lacing. The aroma is toasty and floral with magnificent burnt caramel tones. The flavor is deep and robust with light to medium acidity. Toasted bitterness predominates and is pronounced in the long finish. The body is medium to full, soft and dry. The finish feels very clean. A very nice brew, from a dependable brewer.
