Batch 166 Hop Dump tasting notes

cold from tap

pours golden, hazy, nice white head that stays around edge, laces

aroma earthy fruit, dirty malt underneath

mouthfeel kind of stringent, bitter puckery, moderate body elsewise

flavor buttery malt base with dirty apple fruit balance, grassy underneath, bitter at the end

finish hops don't quite cleanse the palate, although they are trying, left with odd grass clippings sort of feel under the malt

overall drinkable but not ambrosia.  verifies homegrowns really do have some alpha acids.  this is not a good way to use up the homegrowns, better off using them for bittering dark beers.
