The bottle poured a deep reddish brown clear beverage with a small smooth white head that was mostly diminishing and left some lacing on the glass. The aroma was dominated by a spicy-grassy hop aroma with some subtle malt notes. The body was medium with somewhat lively carbonation and a slightly dry texture. The flavor starts off somewhat sweet but quickly takes on a sour character. The finish is fairly long, bitter-sour and lightly astringent.
