Appearance: Pale amber, hazy in the body – attributed to the lack of gelatin in the keg. I’ll use gelatin for all appropriate styles to follow.
Aroma: Deliciously hoppy, sharp and crisp. Not as much as I thought would be present. Amarillo hoppiness definitely present in the nose.
Taste: It is a little sweet, which I was afraid of, and makes me miss my style target. But after I console myself for that failiure, the beer tastes pretty goddamn good. The hop bill really went to work for me, ramping up from the middle to back palate and lingering for a bit after you swallow it down. The malt is pretty unassuming, and it attributes a good drinkability and thin mouthfeel, but let’s be honest – this beer wasn’t about the malt, it was about the hops. I freaking love hops. From Others: Smooth. A bit sweeter on the palate for the style, attributed to the higher FG. Sweet on the front, pleasantly bitter and a little earthy (Northern Brewer) on the toungue and lasting through the finish, with a little herbal taste on the finish. A quite drinkable PA!
