hazy amber, foamy bubbly head. peppercorns in the aroma. taste is an interesting blend of cirusy and piney hops blended with pepper. the floral hops do balance the harsher aspects of the pepper well lending the beer a nice mild white pepper bite. good for hopheads into spicy food but probably too harsh for most, still a rathe unique beverage.

Hazy dark orange. Gluey, dense off white head. Light and steady carbonation. Aroma of freshly cracked black pepper and citrus. Gentle feel and a mildly carbonated body. Spicy pepper right off the bat. A thick citric hop flavor and bitterness beneath. Medium body. Juicy sweetness. Long, spicy aftertaste which tingles the tongue and throat long after. Finishes with a grapefruit juiciness and spicy pepper bite. Would be ideal with heavy food, kind of harsh all alone.
