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: Grapefruit pine resin, pineapple.
Taste: Big piny bitternrss, slight grapefruit, spicy dry malt long bitter hoppy finish. As it warms, some caramel comes through too.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied rough carbonation.
Overall: Not sure if the base beer of this series gets altered by the hop additions, but this beer is night and day better than the El Dorado edition. This has a great mouthfeel and a wonderful hop profile. Great job.
