What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Moderate earthy pine hops partnered with a mild caramel maltiness (graham cracker, sugar toast). Pronounced cherry and cinnamon esters. Slightly sweet but appropriate for the style.”
Flavor: “Smooth earthy hops flavor (spruce, pine) entwined with a pleasant vein of subtly roasty maltiness. Nice balance—flavor progresses from lightly sweet malt through hops bitterness to a dry finish that brings back just enough of the bitterness to give you something to think about before the next sip.”
Overall: “An amber with a tasty balance of hops and malt, a thoughtfully considered fruity ester profile, and a slightly roasty finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“The perfect balance between malt and hops. A great session beer. Unpretentious. Malty chewiness slowly transitions to herbal, earthy hops with a dry finish.”
