Misty Brook Harvest Double Pale Ale
Tap at peppercorns Big creamy 1+ head fades at a med pace bit of lacing over hazy blond pale colored beer. Nose has nice amber malts and a bit of creamy malts, light juicy reddish malt, nice floral hops, hints of fruit and malty sweetness. Taste starts with a big creamy and semi sweet malt kick, amber malts and hints of juicy reddish malts, and hint of vanilla even. Then a nice hop kick, mostly floral hops but a nice spicy and almost earthy demeanor with a nice hoppy bitter bite. Finishes slightly more bitter and dry with a slight earthy herbal oily hop taste, and starts to get slightly astringent. Mouth is med bodied, slightly oily, good carb. Overall nice but maybe a bit too much with the oily feel and earthy slightly astringent hop finish. Overall fairly drinkable but gets a bit too bitter for its own good.
