Old Thunder Brewing Abnormal Beliefs
What the brewers say
“Brown ale with Midwest barley malt, English caramel and chocolate malts, PNW hops.”
What our panel thought
“Initial aroma is citrus/grapefruit hops, with sweet malt hidden. Fruity esters round out the aroma. Citrus hops continue into the flavor, providing a light acidity that balances the medium-sweet, lightly toasted, dry malt flavor. Both flavors linger long into the finish. Balance swings hoppy.”
What our editors thought
“Ambiguously fruity aroma with bits of lemon and lime, but very little malt. Tight, focused bread-crust flavors linger with a slightly burnt crust and fruit finish.”
