Straw colored pour, a little dark straw. Big, frothy, white head that lasts for a bit. As it slowly sinks it leaves behind a bunch of lacing. Huge peppery hop aroma with some nice yeast smells. Sweet malt aroma at that. Bitter bite on the tongue up front. Mostly from the carbon dioxide, and not the hops unfortunately. There is a hop presence in the mouth though. Mix that with some sweet malt and a nice earthy yeast and it isn’t half bad. Dry, bitterness on the back. Decent.

Bottled. Pours hazy golden with pillowy white head, a bit of flaky sediments. Taste is medium sour. Palate has a light body, wet sticky mouthfeel. Aromas have surprising complexity with spices and citrus.
