Cold from tap
Pours cloudy orange-brown, tall fine tan head that stays and laces
Aroma solid malt with roasty edge, bright fruit, grassy
Mouthfeel pretty toothy, but clears with odd grass thing
Flavor big grassy fruit on top of nice roast malt
Finish odd sour/green bitterness
Overall: never squeeze out whole hops, just let them drain, whatever the loss. Hops have pretty decent bite this year, but this is a bit too hoppy on the bitterness scale to have balance/be pleasant. Maybe try more of an IPA base without squeezing out the hops? Or just bury them in other stuff, don't use for aroma/flavor.
