“Inviting floral and spicy Noble hop aroma. Light appropriate whiff of sulfur. Deep golden, brilliant. Clean pilsner malt brings a moderate bit of bread crust and cracker to the aroma with a filigree of spicy hops at the edges. The balance shifts to hops in the flavor, pushing the soft bready, cracker malt into a more supporting role. Soft honey character. The bitterness is smooth and clean, lingering into the finish and fading slowly. Moderate bitterness, soft floral, spicy flavor. Finish is a touch sweet, but not exactly melanoidin in quality—more honey-like. Bitterness hangs well, inviting more drinking. A nice ride with some reasonable variation (and smooth transitions) along the way.”
