Dinkablility: Pours a soft straw with a slight haze. Aroma is muted given the amount of hops, but streaks of over ripened fruit and berries slight grainyness?. Thinking the process of bucket brewing and bottling detracts from the pungentness of aroma. But the flavor hot damn. Sips explode with full guava, mango, grapefruit. This is the best tasting beer i think ive homebrewed. Goes down so smooth. No identify to the 10%iness.
Changes for next time: Up the mouthfeel. I understand honey is very drying, add some maltodextrine to compensate? And figure out a way to up the aroma. On the right track but needs elevation. probalby up the bitterness a hair, a littttttle on the sweet side for my taste.
