Holy crap&#8230;okay this beer is super sweet at the start like a biting earthy loving hug of a sweetness. It has this green tea sort of dryness at the finish. Hints of honey in the middle and lots of what reminds me of eating honey suckles as a kid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; 75% carbonation, medium body.
