The aroma is very lighlty roasted - I’m a bit disappointed in the lightness of the aroma. The flavor is sweet with hints of coffee, and a nice roasted end. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is dark brown.
Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, caramel), lightly to moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin).
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Too resiny-hoppy for my liking, but ok otherwise. beerguy101 (3970), Newark, California, USA
