Amber-yellow Belgian-styled pale ale bursts forth with carbolic champagne fizz overwhelming mild lemon rind-grapefruit sourness. Yeast specks dot deep-grained medium body, enhancing black currant, black tea, and black licorice astringency. Extra dry finish picks up parched orange-lemon-elderberry acridity, suffocating its placid grain base. Casual drinkers will dismiss acute bitterness.
