1.0L swing top growler fill, courtesy of Markwise, pours with a hop hazed deep gold body that has a copper colored core and supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up pine hops, leafy green hoppiness, a dash of caramel malts, garlic, slight vegetable and earthy herbal notes. The taste delivers resiny bitter pine hops nuanced nicely by bitter and juicy grapefruit like hops, orange peel and a good dose of malts rimmed with a bit of a caramel note. To midway and into the finish the sweetness grows as does the boozy sense due to the bitterness and modest juiciness slowly fading away. There’s plenty of thick chewy hoppy flavor and body to make this a pretty damn nice sipper of a beer. I’m liking it.
