Dull straw with a loose head. Rich, woody, citrusy and lightly bready aroma. Really dry, with just pale malt underpinning. This brings the bitterness to the fore in a big way. Lightly fruity. There’s a faint oxidized character that is stale and cardboardy.

Tap. Golden color. Light fruit, bready malt, nice citrus. Flavor has a nice dry malt, some calming citrus hop. Long lingering bitterness. feb 2009.

Warm hazy golden, leaves lots of lacing. Fruity fun aroma. Smooth carbonation and nice quaffability. Fruity body. Some citrus, a lot of hop bitterness in the vein of orange peel and douglas fir.
