Old Wooden Head

Hardcore malt-bomb of a DIPA, loads of caramel and toasted grain offset by deep veins of orange, grapefruit, and pine. Finishes with a mild bitterness—not nearly as clingy or pronounced as you want—leading to a bready, citrus-tinged fade. Pours a deep orange-gold with a moderate white head and tons of lacing. Decent nose offers up grapefruit, wet malt and caramel. Mild hit of boozy warmth, but otherwise has a smooth, easy texture. Not bad, but could use a little oomph.

Cloudy orange pour with a sticky, white head. Flowery hops and sweet candy malt aroma. The flavor has dusty bitterness and malt sweetness. I’d prefer it to be crisper in the hops and less sweet.

On tap. Pours a clear amber gold with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of resinous pine with a touch of honey and sweet grain. Flavor begins with sweet grains and honey but finish is boozy with strong pine and some resin.
