Citra hops and tons of grapefruit in the nose. Lots of bitterness, well balanced, though the body doesn’t feel that light. Very deceiving how light abv the beer is. Very enjoyable and fun. Moderate bitter finish.

sharp, lots of hoppiness, full body, astringent and the rye doesn’t particularly shine, but still very pleasant.

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 8 Overall 6
Bottle, although I have seen cans since buying this bottle. No clear date coding. Pours with somewhat deeper amber golden hued body with a medium sized slightly off-white head. Aromas are sweet and malt forward. Biscuity, caramel, toasty, grainy, corn nuts, low esters, sunflower seeds. Some citrusy and marmalade characters, but they are in the background. Faded, but this still seems fresh. Flavors are both sweet and nutty. Very much malt driven with a medium to medium low bitterness. Low citrus hop character towards the back. Malt character is more toasty than caramel like which is nice. Light bready, spicy malt character, but it still kills the hop flavors. Medium ester, somewhat dry, but not particularly dry. Light floral. Missing hop flavor and aroma. Bitterness is there, and malt flavor is big, but tolerable, just needs way more late and/or dry hop charater. Clean, low brewing flaws, but just not enough hop character.

Bottle. Pours reddish amber with off white head. Nose is perfumy hops, toasted grain, caramel and rye. Taste is heavy perfume - too much for my taste - rye, caramel and spent grain. Bitter finish. Medium body.

Dark brown color. Very light malty, light smokey, cherries and earth, but lacking the body. Rounded. Nice, but not tons of complexity.
