Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a rugged semi-dark copper color with a finger and a half’s worth of white foamy head. Messy clingy lace speckles a bit and tries to spider web.
The aroma smells like Bent Hill sent it through a hop gun, but way over done, where it basically bleeds El Dorado hops coughing up some mosaic crisp sweet to bitter hops - the grassy and piney grip, then folds over floral leafy dryness. Separated sweet berry fruits.
The flavor has a huge hop burn like none other up front, bold enough to singe my tastebuds into oblivion. A full dry hop burn splits my throat in half pummeling the aftertaste and drying out the finish 100%.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a \"trying\" grip pummeling the quality of how sessionable this really wants to be. For 5.5%, this one should be a good/great beer to somewhat be able to take down fairly easy, but the grip of the bitterness seems to be a bit higher than 61 IBU’s.
Overall, another mess of a beer by Bent Hill. Please Bent Hill if you’re going to use a hop gun on your beers, get training on it first.
