COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Golden in color with a dry hop floral aroma and intense hop bitterness supported by a big malty backbone which culminates into a hedonistic mouthfeel. Yee haw!

maekchu (1086) - Hirakata, JAPAN - JAN 21, 2013
Draught at the Rogue Distillery & Public House, Portland. From notes (March 2010). Some sort of barnyard, heavy mown grass aroma -- which I think is not intended to be there. Bright, clear yellow color. Thick sort of body. Glommy and gloppy. Not the best of this XS series, to be sure.
