Expensive 50cl bottle pours up with a clear pure gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up biscuit and sweet malt nuanced sticky pine, cantaloupe and grapefruit hoppiness. The taste delivers malt and biscuit like sweetened grapefruit and pine hop bitterness. It gets a tad juicy with hops here and there and then has a pleasing earthy tea hop note surfaces about midway. The bitter near resiny hops and almost caramel malt sweetness and boozy finish just aren’t coming together well enough to make this work (particularly at this price point). Drinkable but I am struggling to enjoy it. Will I finish the 50cl’s? YES!

Bottle at Whole Foods. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A big fruity nose, resin and oak. The flavor is really sweet sticky hops, much like a cedar aged brew, spicy, some sugary, pine, sharp perfume. Solid beer.
