Citrusy aromas with some carmel maltiness there
medium amber with reddish hue, clear, whitish head, low head retention, but good lace.
Initial hoppy blast of citusry and piney notes, light sweetness that has good balance.
Medium body, moderate carbonation, a bit prickly. long, hoppy finish
A pretty tasty, hoppy beer. pretty drinkable, too.
