Tulip at the brewery - lightly hazy gold - nose of pepper, grass, straw, mild funkiness, light mineral - flavor is a bit sweet for my tastes, honey and tropical fruit - a moderate bitterness and strong spicy phenols try to balance, but wind up simply being a little abrasive and never completely cutting through the sweetness - finish of honey and lingering pepper - disappointing, but probably not as bad as I am making it sound.
