Apparently unfiltered now? Though maniac’s the other day was clear, so maybe we had an unfiltered batch completely missed betwixt two filtered batches? A pity. Fresh growler from the brewery. Pours a clear apple-juice color with a thin head. Fresh citrus hop aroma with slight grain and some sweet floral notes. Taste is sweet malts, grapefruit, peach with a finish of bitter resiny hops. Full bodied. Quite good. 7/3/7/4/14/3.5
Another rerate of this one! This is a dry-hopped version... fresh growler from the brewery. Pours a clear amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is very hoppy with nice bitter resin and citrus notes. Some toffee malts on the aroma as well. Bitter hoppy taste as well with lots of grapefruit and other fruity notes. Light sweet maltiness in the finish. Medium bodied. 8/3/8/4/15/3.8
