Year of New Beer: Educated Fool, Mikerphone Brewing (IL)

Written By: Dion on 10/18/2017

I love it when the aroma of a beer hits you while you are pouring it into the glass. This one does just that as a citrusy, almost candied orange scent strikes first, with floral grasses, honey, and a mild alcohol note developing with warmth. On the tongue, the citrus is initially pithy and bitter before giving way to a touch of honey and malty sweetness. Nearing the finish, the hops become resinous and dank, leaving the mouth sticky and dry with a residual alcohol burn. Very enjoyable brew.
