Light Struck:
When iso-alpha-acids come into contact with light near the ultra-violet spectrum, the light breaks off part of the chain of iso-alpha-acids forming MTB. MTB is a skunky compound which is detectable even in low concentrations. Lightstrike will ruin the flavour, appearance and aroma of a beer and should be avoided at all costs - typically by bottling in dark brown or green bottles.

Walnut-like color and palate of hazelnuts. Definately too nutty for me. |

Pours a dark ruby with a light tan head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Very malty beer, cross between sweet caramel and nutty flavours with a slight bitter chocolate taste. smooth dry finish. |
