Grimm Artisanal Ales Prognosticator
What the brewers say
“Notes of molasses, toasted bread, warm baking spices, dark caramel, raisin.”
What our panel thought
“Rich malt body, but hopped with a heavier hand. Citrus and fruity hop notes accentuate the malt sweetness. Fresh red apple. Sweet on the finish, but masked by a relatively aggressive bitterness. Big and loud, rather than the more typical refined and understated.”
What our editors thought
“Fruity hop notes on the nose play with the strong malt sweetness. Cooler in the sip, as the fruit notes drop back and the malt pushes forward with some lime-zest bitterness.”
