Dead Guy Ale
It pours a coppery, orange coloration with a short beige head with an even shorter life-span. Smells floral with a combination of caramel and fruit, I've seen others liken it to mango and I think that's fitting. What hits me up front is the caramel that sets a tone. Without this, the dry hops could take on the bitterness of an I.P.A, but Dead Guy is all about malts. They grace the entire palate, having the smooth sweetness of honey hiding citric subtleties that are picked up on the edges of the tongue. It's tightly carbonated with a strong, crisp finish. I wouldn't change a thing in this department, it's a needed kick that cuts through a thick texture. Well balanced and has a sticky body, a staining aftertaste. Still, I do feel it's missing something, an intangible to put it over the top.
