A lot of BA's give this one a bad rap. Maybe it's because of preference; maybe it is because of the way they judge this one by comparison to a preconception of, "style." We're all guilty of not being objective and judging based on individual preference, and doing so isn't wrong. I'm guilty on this one.

I really enjoyed it so maybe I'm being partial to that in the numerical assignment of the five notables, oh well.

Copper iced tea color. An average pour, not impressive. Fruity aromas with an almost medicinal tinge great the nose. Great assortment of flavors, fruits, caramel, and a noticeable but helping hop profile blend together to carry this one nicely.

Very dry with an almost martini like finish. I look forward to having this one again.

Serving type: bottle
