The beer in the glass is light copper colored with a creamy, off-white, long-lasting head. It smells wonderful hoppy and fruity, much Amarillo, in the background slightly yeasty and sourish. Starts with lots of aroma hops, fruity and sweet, with a pleasant bitterness. The middle part is very spicy and hoppy, yeasty and slightly caramelly-roasty. Goes into a hoppy-bitter, and yeasty-caramelly finish!
