Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 0.00 gallonsliters at NaN for 0 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to NaN.

You wanted an OG of 1.061. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

This has been in the bottle 2 months as of this review. 12oz bottle poured into a Shaker at 47° Color is a bright amber with good carbonation and a rocky off white head. Aroma is caramel sweet with a fruity back note. It has a medium body with a creamy mouth feel. Flavor is a bit funky with a sweetness that gives tropical notes with toffee, but then orange or tangerine comes in and this doesn't meld right. In the aftertaste the tangerine stands out a bit more with a mild bitterness. Overall not the best mix, next time I'll use a hop that gives basic hop spice rather than the tropical of the Mosaic and a Belgian yeast for more dark fruit esters.
