COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep red head cascades slowly down the shoulders of the glass. Fresh sharp piney hops jump out first in the aroma, followed by silky caramel and citrus peel. Hops tingle up front in the flavor with rosemary herbal, grapefruit peel and a caramel malt backbone. Brewed with British Pale and Crystal malts and Belgian Aromatic malt to a sturdy 8.5% ABV. 100% Simcoe hops from Yakima Valley Washington in the kettle and dry-hopped.
