Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and floral hops is dominant with a nice amount of caramel malt also noticeable. Taste is a good mix between some semi-sweet caramel malt with some good notes of citrus hops with nice floral undertones and some bitter note in the aftertaste. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid offering with good amount of fresh hops.

22oz bottle pours a hazy caramel amber with some lacing white head. Nose is minty, dried lemon peel, malt, light caramel, cracker. Flavor is sweet, malty, crackers, lemon, dried pine needles, light soap, biscuit. Full, dry, bitter finish.

The aroma is musty, earthy, hop oil, flowers. The appearance is clear amber, white head. The flavor is musty, earthy, more caramel. The finish is floral hops, really over-the-top fresh hops, earthy, spicy, lingering. Medium in body, a little thin. Not sure the wet-hopping really improves a beer. This was decent, but I didn’t love it.

Pours a reddish dark orange with an off white lacing. The initial aroma profile showcases bight citrusy notes followed by a panoply of earthy aromas. Dried flowers is another aroma that is noticeable.
