2012 American craft beer week release. Burnt golden copper cloudy pour. Zero head. Little lacing on glass. Taste is dry hops with faint sweetness. Aftertaste is bitter and somewhat unpleasant. Fruit and lots of floral at the start and a bitter tap water finish. Its not awful but didn’t strike a chord with me.
