22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a nice tan head of foam. The modest aroma consists of lightly chopped bing cherries and cranberries as well as a nice mix of earthy fruit, resiny pine like hops and faint sweet malts. The taste is nice with a pleasing mix of sweet cranberries and resiny pine hops with a ring of bitter grapefruit around the edges. It takes on a light earthy tea like hop note here and there as a bit of malts and lightly roasted malts hit on the way into the finish. I like the way thereโs sweeter sort of berry or cranberry notes there to balance out a pleasing resiny pine hop like bitterness. I dig it. Cool hop that in itself has a tasty flavor profile.
