It has a mature grapefruit bomb sort of essence with more tropical fruits that are slightly faded.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; This is insanely bitter&#8230;.IBU is off the chain which, for Ephraim base is to be expected. There\u2019s a lot of citrus here&#8230;but like a faded citrus. a little vanilla, a little bit of sweetness, quite a bit of barrel character but not what I\u2019d say distinctly bourbon. This is really interesting but also a challenge to rate.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Dense, thick, carbonation is tight and well integrated into the beer.<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; Lingering pine cone and grapefruit skin long after swallowing. This was good but so very unique and I\u2019m glad I split the growler a few ways.
