Hops are not shy and bring what seems to be a mix of American and Noble character. Fermentation is great, and it's very clean and ingredient-focused. O: This is a well-brewed beer, and you don't see too many brewers making this type of altbier-esque beer anymore. High carbonation has some acute scrubbing action and provides lift. M: Decisively medium bodied with a full, firm, and round mouthfeel. Trailing toasty grain and earthy/herbal hop bitterness on the finish. Hops are more assertive than the nose suggested, bringing their own sense of earthiness and bitter herbal spice, black pepper, and maybe even a suggestion of grapefruit rind. T: Bread crust up front, pinch of brown cocoa, heavy toast, brown molasses, earthy grain. Hops are pleasant and oily/grassy with a hint of herbal spice. Bread crust, caramel/molasses, pinch of brown cocoa. Chunky lacing cements itself onto the glass as the beer is consumed. Tight, fine-bubbled head sports a creamy color and excellent retention. A: Nice copper color with perfect clarity.
