Notes:

Descriptors: citrus, orange, lemon, bready biscuit

Light in color. Smells a little dank from the columbus but mostly citrus/orange. At first pour it has more of a lemon citrus smell. Middle of the mouth is bitter, I’d say too bitter for this type of beer. It’s also really light bodied, maybe mash a bit higher and drop the IBUs a tad. Overall it’s not a bad beer, the bitterness detracts a bit from it.
