The Aromas are hops, cereal, straw and pale malt. Flavors are sweet upfront balance by good carbonation and growing significant bitterness it gets kind of heavy at the end. Fairly boozy in the finish too.

Bottle/Fest. A- Funk, mild fruit. A- Pink color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Fruity, mild strawberry, plum, subtle tang. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tart finish. O- All these Noble Star variants all seem to be aged in cypress wood but little difference. This at least had plums which don't seem to add much other than a gentle fruit flavor and a touch more tang. Okay.
