Clean crisp malt aroma. Slightly sweet flavor that quickly crispens. Leaned taste buds slightly puckered but with a lingering clean malt taste. Very nice.
I was worried since this was the last of a 6 pack from summer. Brewed on 6/30/2015, drank for this review on 1/9/2016, so a little over 6 months old. Taste has held up well, though, with only a mild sweetness detectable that I don’t recall before.
Clean dark malt aroma with hints of fruit sweetness. Taste is initially one of sweet cherries but quickly is replaced by a dry coffee-like dark malt taste. After a few more drinks the coffee flavor mellows out and a nice residual cherry sweetness is left.
Nice clean hop sweet aroma. Earthy kind of sweetness. No sharp edge, just a moderate hop sweetness with a mildly hoppy aftertaste. Stable malt background, but this is really a showcase for the hops. A hint of a clean that taste complements well.
