Had on tap at the Bruery many times. Pours a hazy golden yellow with good carbonation, lots of bubbles, and good head. Aroma is wonderfully hoppy with pine, citrus, and standard hoppy flowers. Taste is awesomely hoppy with lots more citrus to back it up. Bitterness doesn’t overwhelm - a perfect balance of extra hops on top of good malts. Finishes smooth, crisp, hoppy. Very good.
