A gentle pour reveals a deep golden color with a thin white head. Good retention on the head. Lots of thick lacing the sheets down the sides of the glass.
The aroma is mostly bready malts with a late sweetness and hints of dark fruits.
The taste is very similar to the aroma with bready sweet malts and a nice earthy hop coming in near the finish. The sweetness lingers in the finish.
Medium body with medium carbonation. A sweetness on the lips and some dryness in the finish.
Overall, another very nice beer from Firestone. Fairly simple in micro-brew standards, but a super solid beer. Great flavors that are fresh and well balanced. An easy drinking beer that showcases how good a "simple" beer can be! I will be buying this one again!
Poured clear into a pint glass. Huge, off-white, frothy foam. Retention was great with the foam becoming thicker as it diminishes. Lacing, nope.
Aroma is a backbone of bready malt with a nice subtle fruity hops presence. The hop aroma did seem to leak out the fruit after being open a while. Make sure to sniff it quick. Some sweetness.
Fresh tasting at first with some sweetness. The beer finishes with a bready malt flavor that sticks around in the aftertaste. Herbal hops are also there on the finish.
Medium carbonation with a chewy body that isn't too big with some dryness to the finish.
Refreshing and very good beer. There seems to be some subtle complexities that not everyone enjoys. A full bomber of this hits the right spot. Enjoy!
