3.2/5  rDev -4.2%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

22 oz bottle. Very clear golden color, with a copper hue. Thick white head holds well for a minute, then fades to a small layer. A fair amount of sticky lace left over on the glass.

Biscuity malt is big in the nose. Grassy hop notes are not overly big here. Seems a bit subdued for a wet hop beer.

Big malt character that is quite sweet up front. A bit of caramel with a biscuit feel. Grassy hops lend some balance, but this isn't a terribly hop forward beer, again seems off for a wet hop beer.

Medium body with good carbonation. Lacks the slick, oily feel i was looking for. A hint of alcohol and astringent finish. Overall, not bad but certainly not what I thought it would be compared to other wet hop beers.

Her - 7.5 Musky & creamy. Like it a LOT. It is now, officially, one of her favorites of all time!
Him - 4 Pine trees & dirty socks. Would not care to have again.

with all due respect to the previous reviewer, dude, are you serious? come on man. this beer isnt a 2. sure it might not be the best ipa in the world, or even the most interesting wet hop beer, but man, a 2? no. this beer pours a radiant copper color, with mellow bubbles coalescing into a bright white head just an inch high. not much retention though. the nose is more malty than expected, english in nature, with some bready and mineral tones. hops arent too pronounced in smell, but they provide a blance to the crackery malt. the flavor is nice, oil in the hop, but not bitter or even that intense. theres a delicate sort of fruity character to this, and the grassy elements are the most obvious. feel works, medium body, average carbonation, and a long candied hop finish. how could anyone give this beer a 2?

22 oz bottle. Pours clear copper orange with a medium creamy off white head that goes to a thin film and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet doughy and biscuity crystal malts and bubble gum with a little grassy hop presence.

The flavor is sweet doughy biscuity malts and some mint with some grassy hops that give decent bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, I didn't really care for this - too malt forward and sweet and biscuity.
