Draught @ Albion, labeled as "somewhat deranged". Clear rich yellow with large foamy off-white head, almost non-existent malty aroma, low carbonation, sticky sweet taste, somewhat thick body, long sticky sweet finish with honey aftertaste. Too sweet by half.

Labeled as "somewhat deranged." 32oz growler pours with a sparkling clear pure gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up sugary malt sweetness and echoes of fruity and candied pine hops. The initial taste is like, damn! The taste buds weren’t ready. I get a wave of sugary malty sweetness interwoven with thick grassy, floral, citrus and then candied pine like hops. The hops try to unload a massive bitter hop bite but this beer’s bigness refuses to allow that to happen. This attains restrained bitterness amid thick malt and hop flavor. Nice sipper, this.
