Cracker malt with a little bit of toasted bread, with hints of apple, lemon, and grass, followed by a modest honey sweetness and a manageable floral bitterness. Tasty.

Bottled 4/2/25, drunk 8/4/25.
Clear as day, light amber-bronze. Medium-sized, off-white head.
Resin and caramel! I don't know why I'm surprised but it's just been so long. I avoid old school DIPAs like the plague. Some wood, tea, vanilla, black tea and PINE. And caramel. Not boozey, though.
Pine resin and balancing caramel. Sweet and bitter. Love it! It's been so long since I've had this nasty style that it tastes novel and enjoyable. Orange, tea, wood, white bread and caramel. It is balanced from all the sweet white bread and caramel. Pine and orange linger. It does seem more balanced than in the days of old. Still has that hop stink/sweat earthiness. Fun. Would probably not want to drink this too many more times. A few times every decade.

Pour is a dark but clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is bready and grain malt but very lacking. Flavor is some grainy malt and some generic fruity hops with accompanying bitterness. More "traditional" than Americanized marzen's but I kind of like the darker more toasted versions. This was just ok.

Very nicely done, and a step up from the Phantom Torpedo I just had in this mixed pack. And that was already well done. Pine, grapefruit. Some unripe pineapple. Clear golden pour with decent head. Bitter end. Nice balance, nice body. Can.
