Ever so slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall tan head that takes a while to fade. Aroma of big grassy and floral hop notes with a lot of perceived alpha acids and bitterness and a decent amount of malts with some sweetness noticeable, especially towards the end. Medium-bodied; Rich caramelised sugar and toffee flavours show at first with a lot of earthy malts that hit at first and then show a good deal of nuttiness and some pungent sweetness from caramel as well with the end showing the hops that are bitter, but not overtly so. Aftertaste shows some rather deep and pungent malts that show caramelised sugars and some earthiness, but the sweetness and the hop bitterness comes through at the end and balances things out nicely. Overall, a pretty strong beer that somehow hits with more malts than hops, but the range is clearly there and brings out a good balance across the board with the caramelised sugars and toffee showing strong as well. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Rozi's Wine & Liqour in Cleveland, Ohio on 30-July-2021 for US$2,09 sampled in my hotel room here in Traverse City, Michigan on 03-August-2021.
