Leave it to the Tortoise

32oz growler pours with a modestly hazy pale gold body that has a thin copper hue and supports a tall light tan head. The aroma offers up grapefruit, lime peel, a dash of lemon and then thinly bright floral hop notes above a sliver of bready maltiness. The taste comes across kind of tart citrus fruit with bitter grapefruit, some lemon and a dash of lime. To midway more and more bitter floral hop notes hit to ramp up the hop bitterness a bit more. Behind all of the bitter hops is a mild murmur of maltiness that has a faint bready quality to it. This is bitter forward and it works but not really in my wheel house. Glad to be trying but wouldn’t grab anymore.
