Muddy Puddles

◎ Appearance

Deep brown-black body with opaque clarity, typical of the style. A dense, cream-colored head forms and clings to the glass with good retention. Fine carbonation creates a gentle fizz beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—grapefruit, lime, and pineapple—layered over blackcurrant and hints of sherbet sweetness. Beneath the fruit sits a roasted undercurrent and subtle chocolate notes from the dark malts. Heavy dry-hopping adds a pronounced herbaceous hop character that frames the entire profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is citrus-forward with a bright hop bite tempered by creamy, chocolate-tinged maltiness. Mid-palate develops an unripe mango bitterness that adds complexity and slight astringency. Hoppy bitterness and berry notes build throughout, balanced by the beer's full body and subtle sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with chocolate creaminess dominating the fade. Residual hop bitterness and citrus acidity persist in the aftertaste, creating a balanced, dry conclusion.
