Bottle via a trade. Really wish this had a best buy or bottled on date. Pours with a murky orange body and a massive off-white head that leaves great lace and has good retention. Aromas are hoppy, floral, mango, grapefruit, passionfruit, pomegranate, nectarine. Lightly spicy malt profile, bready, some candied citrus. Flavors are a bit fruit, a bit bready, toasty, some esters. The hops don’t quite pack the bitter punch that I was expecting. A bit fruit, citrus, tropical fruit. A crisp/bitter/spicy edge that I assume is from the rye. Quite drinkable. Medium bubbles, slightly creamy, crisp, dry finish. Very lightly warming. Another impressive offering from JK, cannot wait to try more!
