Growler pours with a clear copper to gold body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma erupts with old old school hoppiness that sends up plumes of lime, earthy shrubs, herbally notes, earthy dankness and floral that just pulse there all on their own. Well off in the background are thin murmurs of estery apples covered in honey. At the edges are smooth Belgian Saison like spices. I love this mix of aromatics. Hello! The taste begins nice and smooth with some sweet maltiness and gently yeasty spices. It then rushes headlong into firm hoppy notes malt sweetened earthy lime, herbal notes, tangelo citrusy hops, earthy hop dankness and then a pleasing mix of sweet honey and earthy tea to bitter floral hoppiness. This is working just right with freshness, boldness, snappiness and flavor harmony. Wow. I love this. I hope there’s some of this tapped this summer as it feels like a terrific hot weather brew. Holy Hell!
Baby Jesus!
