omhper (10393), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 18, 2004 Sampled draught at O’Briens, San Diego.
Deep golden. Surprisingly neutral nose. Boldly malty, yet clean and watery up front, followed by an immense hop explosion with pine needles, ink, salt and bitterness. Strikes me as being more offensive and rude than balanced. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 12/01/2005
