Sampled at an esbls tasting. Cloudy golden copper. Citrus and pine nose. Grapefruit bitterness hits quick as it is tasted. Soft pine. Only slight caramel so the balance is tilted. Kind of thin feel.

obguthr (3234) - Poquoson, Virginia, USA - APR 28, 2011
Nicely hopped aroma of grapefruit, rosehip, and green tea, strong. Hazy orange, thin yellow. Definitely more on the hoppy side. Off balance and has little maltiness, but it’s still delicious. Grapefruit peel and lemon zest flavor with a touch of anise in the finish. Thin body. Atypical IPA, but immensely enjoyable.
