Flavor

The palate follows the nose and begins a taste of roasted barley that’s followed quickly by bitter floral hops. Sweet caramel malt rounds out the finish.

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel has moderate carbonation and a medium body that doesn’t seem quite adequate enough to support the flavors.

Overall

The aroma is pleasant and the flavor is superb. The feel could have a bit more heft but doesn’t detract from what is otherwise a tasty brew.

Tribal Affiliation

Due South was inspired to name this brew after the classic hip-hop album Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest, a favorite among the brewery staff.
