Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 22B). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L56-2016 (BBF 05-2017). AROMA: medium green-apple aroma with a medium-low slightly sweet and toffee-like malt aroma. APPEARANCE: ambar color and clear. excessive ivory head with medium-low retention. TASTE: medium-low green-grass flavor with a medium-low, slightly sweet and toffee-like, malt background. medium-high bitterness with a dry and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-low body with initial high carbonation that dissipates quickly, giving way to an almost flat beer. low astringency. OVERALL: a harvest ale, similar to a american strong ale, where the hops are already totally gone, with notes resembling acetaldehyde maybe from the high ratio of fresh hops used.
