Old Harbor Santo Viejo

Pours a dark golden yellow color with pale yellow hues when held to a light and a one finger frothy white head. Good retention, only slowly fading into a lasting ring that laves sporadic spots of lace behind.Bland aroma with hints of slightly toasted biscuit malt and toffee. Slightly earthy/grassy with subtle earthy pine hop character.Medium boded and fuller than expected with a nice crisp hop bitterness up front that lingers throughout over a sweet malty backbone into a long dry finish. Slightly earthy with hints of grass and straw along with some subtle light fruit, mostly apple and pear. This is nicely balanced by a toasted biscuit malt presence making this beer decently quaffable. The best of the three beers I had at Old Harbor.
