7.8/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2023. Pours a near clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a good amount of grass with some hay and straw supporting. Flavor is grass forward with a nice hay and a bit of straw in the finish.

12oz can. Toasty rich malt tone. Perfect hop balance. A lot of depth but it all comes together perfectly. Excellent.

Tap at Metropolitan. Smooth, sweet, creamy. Mild but steady smoke. Clean, fresh. Right on.

12oz can. Clean, transparent yellow-copper body. Thin, soapy head. Aroma is a little off, earthy, odd. Not thin, but very drinkable, classical. Pleasant malt depth. OK.

12oz can. Was hyped about this one for awhile and it didn't disappoint. Awesome malt depth, all comes together perfectly, doesn't seem heavy handed, just nailing it. Rich, bready, supreme body and balance. Excellent stuff!
