Labeled as dry hopped at the brewpub. Orange pour, small white head. Dry hopping evident in aroma - strong hop forward nose. Taste -is unbalanced - strong hops cover up a pretty thin light malty body. I like my hops but by the end this balance did not do it for me. A good effort in need of some tweaking I think.

[1558-20080801] Tap. Dry grassy hops and mature pine needle aroma. Clear, light orange yellow body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Muted toasted yeast and resin hops flavour. Light-medium body is smooth. Balanced, drinkable.

On tap at the Pepperwood. The dry-hopping makes for a nicely balanced bitter with a very good mouth feel. The dryness lingered forever.

Pint had with S.B. Oct 9/06 Pours cloudy copper colour with an offwhite head. The nose is citrusy and slightly spicy. The taste begins with the aforementioned citrus but quickly heads to the hops with a crisp aftertaste. A very nice bitter.

Focus on citrus hops is apparent in the aroma with pleasant underlying malt base. Clear copper coloured body is topped by a low white head that recedes to cover. Decent bitterness is supported well by malty base. Unexciting but very drinkable. Light fruitiness and a hint of butterscotch offer counterpoints. Medium light body with moedium carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub.
