MC² from Equilibrium Brewery

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy yellow, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of papaya, pineapple, peach, young cheese, shallot, white pepper, yellow grapefruit. Taste has sweetish pineapple & peach in a doughy, crackery malt body with some bitter grapefruit & shallot. Bitter floral & piney hops in the finish, lingering tropical juicy fruits and grapefruit. Alcohol remains hidden. Medium body, slick-oily texture, average carbonation. Just a solid juicy, almost chewy Hazy.
