Smells of earthy malts, not too sweet, just earthy. Tastes dry, malty, earthy and a bit caramelly. Not that bitter I guess, but not sweet either for a malty beer.

The aroma seems like it is Phoenix hops. Rich and catty. Reminds me of Weyerbacher’s Eleven Phoenix hopped beer. The flavor is hoppy with a nice pale grain that shines through. Bitter grassy and pine hops. Creamy, nicely bitter, not oily. Grains leave a dustiness. DuffMan (2769), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
