Smells strongly of sour zesty hops. Taste is similar to smell, strong hops flavor, not much else. A little watery, almost no detectable malts. Not bad, very light and refreshing.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Golden with lasting head and lace. Mild citrus aroma. Very dry with almost no malt flavor. Some mild fruitiness. Extremely sessionable and pretty good. Nice bitter finish. I might need another to decide. Seems out of balance and too light but I am enjoying it.
