Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. A bit unclear red color, huge off-white head that lasts forever and leaves good lacing. Aroma is malts, hops, lightly fruity. Taste malts, hops, lightly fruity, moderately bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Well, decent, but I expected more. Good beer, but my expectations were higher since I’ve had so many incredible beers from this brewery. On the other hand, not all beers can be a 4+ right? And wtf am I complaining about with a 3.9 score!

Bottle. Deep red pour with a small white head. Sweet malts, grassy hops and a little spice present in the snout. Similarly sweet flavour with caramalts leading the charge backed up with some decent hoppage and pleasant fruitiness. Very tidy balance struck .Dry bitter finish. Yet to have a bad one from this crew.
