Overall 6.5
Dark golden to light amber, quite on the dark side for the style, slightly hazy. Low to medium sized white head, disappears quite quickly without any lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: malty notes of hay, honey, hints of caramel; grassy hops with the slightest citric/cedary hint, a hint of dry floral hops. Taste notes as per aroma, with so-so definition, except for a more pronounced dry floral hoppiness in finish/aftertaste. Overall quite intense for the style in both sweetness and bitterness, with a bit too much contrast between the slightly sweet mouthfeel and the dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied with slightly below medium light-bubbled carbonation; feels maybe a bit fuller than usual per style. Not fully convincing to me, maybe not in perfect shape though.
