Taste Rating(out of 50): 39.0 Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.00
Taste Notes: Modeled after a popcorn ball, but with my own spin on things. This is not a very tasty beer for the first two months of maturation. Beyond that it comes into its own and tastes very good, reminding me of Red Hook's Late Harvest Ale. Caramel notes through
