Canned 8/11/25, drunk 11/13/25, as pictured.
Bright and hoppy with round, caramel-laced fruits beside the hops. Soft floral and big, fresh herbal notes keep the malts at bay and a very clean, crisp, clear, aromatic character is achieved.
Malty and spicy right away with excellent balance created by hop and malt. Great base malt presence with only a bit of round caramel and red fruit character created by the medium malts. No toast or sourdough (or extremely little of it, at least). Hops are just exquisitely well-done with big, boisterous spice and fresh herbal qualities, yet without any gigantic bitterness/acidity. Malt dries up a good amount on the finish, but it still retains a sumptuous texture. This is just like, mind-blowingly well-done for Spyglass.
