Twin Span Brewing 80 East
"Soft and pale haze on the pour. Light haze, good head. Strong hop aroma dominates: Overripe tropical fruit, light green onion. Bubblegum on the nose with soft notes of peach and light citrus. Low grainy sweet and bready malt. Lightly sweet bready malt with light notes of biscuit and pie crust. Robust yet soft malt structure with a light flavor profile of stone fruit, cotton candy and lingering citrus. Hop flavors aid with some sweet tropical flavors mango, peach candy, hints of vanilla. Quite low bitterness overall, simulating a bit of a fruit beer quality in this hazy. Finish a touch sweet with solid tropical flavors and a note of grass in the finish. Lovely smoothness in drinkability makes this a repeat order. Hop aromas and flavors are unusual and new. A touch of elevated sweetness cuts through. Semi dry finish with candy like sweetness popping through."
