Clingy specks of lacing.The aroma is malty with a light note of toasted grain, Hoppy with a savory herbal trace, light-to-moderate dried apricot, resin/pine, grapefruit; Yeasty with a trace note of dough. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately-to-heavily bitter, light-to-moderately acidic with a long, lightly-to-moderately bitter finish. Bitterness in aftertaste is blunt, perhaps metallic.

Jul 8, 2008 Updated: Oct 6, 2008Draft at the brewery. Unfiltered cloudy dark copper colored body with a white head and medium-to-thick lacing. Dry-hopping very evident, catty, resinous hops, actually resembles American ESB, musty pine and orange hops in the nose and tasted throughout as well. A malty nose of bread crust/toast stands up solidly on the palate, medium to full body, with some weird filmy carbonation issues noticed, but nothing too distracting or annoying. Fresh, delicious, well integrated toast/bran/bread crust with the mildly dry/catty orange flavored hops, with IPA/ESB-level bitterness. Quite good.
