Taste was not very unique and kind of a bland flavor, starts off with a citrus hop and some bitterness and some light sweet caramel malts. Touch Of A Grassy Hop Note In The Background Of The Beer. The Middle Of The Beer Has A Strong Bitterness And A Bready Flavor Comes Through. The Finish Of The Beer Is Nice And Dry, With A Aftertaste That Lingers.

Don't Want A Sixer


Left Hand Brewery Is A Good Brewery, With Better Products Than This One. This Beer Was Just A Undistinguished APA, And There Are Better Choices For APA Out There. Try Another Brew From This Brewery, Before This One. I Enjoy Their Sawtooth Ale, So I Would Try That First.
