Pours a slightly hazy, dark orange with a thick fluffy white head with thick creamy lacing. Floral aroma, fresh, some mint. West coast hoppiness is evident, but not overdone. Some nuttiness in the background, a bi of mellow frutiness, not
the usual graprefruity onslaught. Very thick creamy mouthfeel. Above average. daknole (3050), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
