piney resiny citrus my but a bit of dms. Dry not overly balanced or complicated. Aggressively bitter but overly astringent. Not a train wreck but wouldn’t have again

On tap at Eighty-Eight, pours a clear golden with a small beige head. Aroma is mega-dank in the hops, with resinous notes, dank hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very dank, with tons of pot-like hops, fuzzy citrus skins, and biscuity malt. Mega-dank, with little sweetness. This is very good.
