Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is tropical citrus, floral and pine. Taste is sweet with a bitter finish. Medium bodied with sticky finish. Very solid and pleasantly surprised.

Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is weak...straw and grass. Flavor is slightly better...still grassy but a bit resinous and a layer of grapefruit. Mouthfeel is medium and the finish is dry/bitter grapefruit.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold body with a small fizzy white head that fell to a thin ring. The nose is fairly subdued as far as the hops go, but it is rather clean and bright. The malt is pretty light as well, just a bit of soft bready and doughy notes. A little bit citrusy, a little bit floral. The flavor is pretty nice, very sessionable in it’s flavor intensity, it doesn’t seem as though this would tire out the palate quickly. A nice balance between hop flavor and bitterness. The citrusy qualities dominate, but not by much. Very clean and nicely dry, it makes for a nice crisp and snappy finish. Rather light and airy on the tongue, with pinpoint tight carbonation. This is pretty darn good.
