Tulip at the Thirsty Growler. Clear, medium amber, nicely frothy. Rich toasted bread, earthy & herbal stiff hops, light black pepper, itchy nose. Taste is heavy cereal upfront, sticky caramel & dry leaves with a lingering earthy & aspirin bitter bite. Lingering astringency, medium-high acid & an eventual dry mouth feel. Heavy dose of hops. Feels a bit bigger than the 5% list. Good.
