It has been awhile since I have had this one so bear with me. Not overly hoppy in the aroma or the flavor, a nice complex balance of hops, malt and grapefruit with a bit of a watery musty aftertaste. This is the most enjoyable of the beers at this establishment, and much better than the alternative which would be their macro selection.
