Barely anything going on here. Too bad. Dude recommended it. Still, pleasant enough and inoffensive.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Slightly hazy dark golden color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of yeast, fruit, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal hops, citrus, mild hops and malt. The finish is mildly funky yeast and fruit. Above average overall.

Bottle (2018) pour from Valley Beverage Company, Sherman Oaks. Appearance is opaque black with no sparkle, thin ring of beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, nuts, mild dark fruit, earth. Taste is bittersweet roasted malt and dark chocolate, toffee, earth. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, well crafted. Fair complexity but not the most complex in the world. Good but not decadent. Enjoyable.
