Scopey Profile - Brewver

Bottle from HoTM. It pours clear blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, bready, biscuit, baked goods, Belgian esters, melon, poached pear, mellow banana split cubes, toasty grains, cereal, straw and nutty vibes. The taste is initially dry, crispy, bready, baked goods, biscuit, spice, fragrant, snap of bitterness, floral, juniper, pear skin, melon, green banana and a touch of alcohol with a drying finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Feels like a daisy, something I've not seen old chimneys do before, but it is very them.
