Shared with Pyrozoid. Slightly hazy golden poor with a nice thin frothy off-white head. Aromas of orange and lemon zest, celery salt, pepper, nicely hopped and smells fresh. Grainy, medium body, slightly overcarbonated. Flavors are peppery, orange zest, spruce... Not to bad overall...

Hazy golden orange with a generous head and ok lacing. Citrus hops on the nose. Biscuit flavors offset the hops on the tongue, resulting in a very well balanced beer. Smooth creamy mouthfeel, good carbonation, and the balance remained in the aftertaste. This is a beer everyone could like.

Poured from the bottle, good head and hazy body. Great balance of the malt and nice hop aromas. Good balance of flavours in the nouth and a nice mouthfeel that lingered just long enough. Was looking forward to trying this beer for a long time and did not dissapoint on a rare sunny afternoon in Dublin, Thanks Anchor...

On tap at SFO anchor steam restaurant. Hazy golden with minimal head. Aroma of floral hops. Flavor of fruit with hop finish. Very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Aroma of floral hops, grassy hops, dry bitter hops, sweet pale malt base, ctirus and appley esters. Very nicely balanced between the bitter and the sweet in the mouth, despite the admittedly strong hop presence. The malt remains strong enough to be quite luscious in its own right, always very juicy. Very nice.

Recieved 6 pck bottle as gift from friend. Launched me on my journey to new beer discovery. Golden color, nice head, good body. Fruity, with a slightly bitter finish that works well. Strong hops presence. Tasty brew!!
