Aroma has notes of toasted marshmallow, nuts, dark bread. Taste is sweet and roasty with a lightly bitter edge, finishing very dry. Roasty malt flavors. A little thin. Very English.

7.4
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Aroma has notes of pine, crackery malt, grapefruit. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness and no real sweetness. Crisp, clean flavors. It’s good, but I remember being a lot more impressed with this when I was at the brewery ~15 years ago. Either my tastes have changed or the rest of the beer world has caught up with what Russian River was doing decades ago, so this seems pretty average now.
