Cheers to Goblinmunkey7 for sharing this absurdly fresh bottle

Consumed 10/19/12

Appearance: Deep copper with some nice orange highlights - foamy, white head, sticks around and leaves a little wall of lacing - nice clarity

Smell: Damp, leafy hops everywhere - citrus rinds and some damp pine needles - mint leaves - hoppy sweetness and a nice amount of sweetness from caramel malts - great malt base, lightly toasted biscuits and caramel grains

Taste: Wet and weird, in a good way - leafy, earthy, herbal, and minty - damp citrus rinds and damp pine - nicely hoppy and bitter - floral, too - lightly sweet with a nice malt base - caramel malts and some paler malts

Mouthfeel: Medium body, great level of carbonation, very smooth, quaffable

Overall: Sierra Nevada make good beer? That's unpossible!

This is the flavor of fresh. It tastes damp, wet, and immature. And it works. It's very hoppy without being abrasive at all.

Serving type: bottle
