This Hess beer was growlered up at Huss in Tempe, AZ. It pours with a clear deep copper body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up a good load of sweet fruity esters where I’m getting things such as prunes and raisins mixed with a dash of banana. Behind the fruitiness is a bit of roasted malts and a sweet maltiness. The taste is up front sweet with prunes and raisin like fruity esters. To midway mild notes of roasted malts and sweetened rye bread as well as a sort of vague spicy hoppiness come to the surface. This is a bit too sweet for me. Nice body though.
