Badger State Brewing Company Dark Tides
What the brewers say
“Dark lager.”
What our panel thought
“Melon-like fruity esters dominate the aroma. Latte-like flavor, light body, with a creamy, velvety mouthfeel and a melon-forward hop contribution. Seductive chocolate and light coffee gently transition to a creamy finish. Super oddball, a Frankenstein, but it kind of works. Fun and different.”
What our editors thought
“Unusual stone fruit–candy notes in the aroma, peach ring, with a bit of minty hops. The candy notes carry into the flavor with an atypical intensity.”
