Side pull at Boston Taproom, 3/20/26.
Good mix of base malt and caramel showing toffee, honey, moderate toast. Mild, herbal hops in the background. Clean with light mineral, yeast on end.
Very malty with a strong hop presence on the finish, though a bit more bitterness than flavor. Not too much toast, quite clean with soft carbonation. Bitter tea and orange from hop is a bit too jarringly bitter on the end, but I appreciate it balances the huge maltiness nicely. A bit rough and burly, but it's heart is in the right place.
