Leighton Profile

Lightly sweet, pleasant well toasted dark malts, soft coffee notes, bit of bitter earth and black coffee, a little milk chocolate. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Decent balance to finish.

Tasty if mild, subtle toasted malts, fairly assertive earthy bitterness (esp. for a dunkel), a little dry caramel, burnt toast, leaves. Lingering bitterness. Not bad.

Pretty so so. Some faded hops, dry pale mats, citrus peel, pine needles, straw. Light minerality. Drinkable but not very vibrant.

Very nice IPA, mildly hazy, fresh tropical fruits, bit of rindy bitterness, some pale piney notes. For me, it lands between an NEIPA and a WCIPA. All around, highly enjoyable.
