Bent Water Equivalent Exchange

“Sweet fruity nose of creamsicle, cranberries, and a bit of green herb. The hop flavor is much more herbal, with grapefruit pith, pine, and black currant. Very little malt character, substantial bitterness, warm alcohol flavors.”

“Herbal, fresh-cut grass, muddled nose leads into a sip that leans the same way. Both aroma and flavor fade to a sweet candy-like Valencia orange that is past its prime. Initial balance is spot on, but as the finish lingers, some rough edges emerge out of the bitter softness.”

__Aroma:__ “Blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, orange, lemon, mango, pine, and herbal are all well blended and pleasant. Light bready and bread-crust malt, almost like a flour tortilla.” __Flavor:__ “Well balanced with significant fruit character from the hops. Citrus and red berry with a touch of mango and grassy/herbal to top things off. The malt is clean and supporting as it brings a slight toasted bready character. Bitterness lingers with a touch of coating sweetness.” __Overall:__ “Nice berry-forward fruity aroma with some supporting citrus and grassy. Maybe a bit sweet up front, but the bitterness balances it well and isn’t harsh at all. All of the pieces fit together well. Very drinkable.”
