Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Tangerine and lemonade.
Taste: Ripe tangerine, grapefruit, bitterness. Also reminded me of a hard candy I got for Christmas as a kid called Barley Sugar. They were colorful, clear molded figurines made out of barley sugar.
Mouthfeel: Thick and syrupy.
Overall: Dreamy and magical. I’ve had samples on draft as well, and I’m amazed at how they get that many hops into a bottle, and how it comes off citrusy, sweet, without being harsh or astringent.
