Pours cloudy orange amber, bigger head than needed, light tan head, laces and stays ok.
Aroma - vanilla/caramel malt smell, with hints of spiced fruit.
Mouthfeel - somewhat toothy, but overcarbonated, taking away/interfering too much with body. Could skip the 154 mash rest, but need less priming sugar, too.
Flavor - pleasant malt flavor, kind of 'scotchy' (could introduce some pils, reduce golden promise), munich doesn't really work here, could reduce caramel a touch. Hop bitterness is too high, but aroma is missing and would help this balance better.
Finish - underlying hop bitterness comes through, malt finish is munich, slight fruity yeast at finish, but not enough to balance.
Overall - overcarbed so hard to tell what's going on, might be a good effort with 20% less priming sugar.
