Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt dark orange close to amber color with a thin white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a slow pace. Light lacing.
The aroma had some sweet earthy nuts, some tobacco leafiness, and then a light citrus bitter hoppiness.
The flavor yields to the blend of sweet earthiness/tobacco to the citrus bitter hoppiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation felt fine. ABV nestled in just right.
Overall, good one for it’s style and worthy of having again.
