Bottle. Thanks omhper! Dark hazy amber color with a huge rocky beige head (takes a very long time to pour the whole bottle). Aroma of pine needles, a bit of citrus, tropical fruits notes and light cookie-ish maltiness. A rather bitter hoppy flavor with some pine and some fresh citrus and a bit of sweetish maltiness. A pleasant lingering bitter finish. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Very tasty.

UPDATED: MAY 20, 2009 Bottle at the RBJG. Thanks, Omhper. Spicy, peppery hop aroma, citrus and pine as well. Light caramel malt. Very hoppy aroma but rather light bitterness. Light palate, very citrusy.
