A nice brewery-fresh taste right from the start and lasts throughout. A well balanced hop aroma and flavor. Very enjoyable alone without food.

Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops with sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Good.

Bottle courtesy of tpd975 Pours cloudy golden with thin white head. Smell was herbal, somehow reminded me of tarragon and hoppy. Taste was very hopy and sweet, with a little hint of caramel malt and this herbal/floral presence. Very drinkable and a really nice beer.

On tap. Nice copper color, with little head served. Floral, pined hops on the nose with a decent sugared malty presence. Smell was a little restrained. Well balanced body with a strong, but quickly dissipating toasted caramel presence, graduating into a lihgt watery mouthfeel touched with a lingering hop backbone.
