Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick burnt orange color with a finger and a half of white frothy head which tapered off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy/apricot-like hops bombard some piney to citrusy hops then a super light clean maltiness underneath
Flavor: leads with a huge amount of those peachy/apricot hops which seems to mesh more with the piney and citrusy hop tones then the malts which seem to just remain as an afterthought in the taste but there is a subtle blend to all of this as all the hops seem to not be overbearing in any sense of overly bitter; finishes with the peachy/apricot to citrusy hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness but also some sharpness from the hop bitterness - not "too overbearing" at least for me but I think I could see how some people might think some of the bitterness "might" be excessive
Overall: well, I liked this one for me but I know a couple of my friends thought this was overly bitter.
