  • Translucent amber. Goldish clingy amber with nice bubble. Citrus aroma with some sweetness?

    More bitter than I imagined, some tang on the back end. A little top heavy on the bitter, slight watery finish.

  • Pours clear with a quarter inch of white foam. Retention and lacing are not much of a factor.

    Aroma is minor all around. Some combination or part of pine, citrus, and/or floral hops with a small addition of malt.

    Taste is bitterness up front and citrus that lingers, like a red grapefruit. Very minor sweet followed by a mix of something like wine: maybe yellow apple and/or pear.

    Light on the mouth with low carbonation, the beer dries out the palate.

    After having Tricerahops as my introduction to Ninkasi beers, I was expecting this beer to be another hop bomb in sheep's clothing. I was wrong. This beer is very interesting from the hops bring up front in the taste, to the interesting mix of flavors in the middle. Enjoy!

  • Pours a nice golden amber with white frothy head that dissipates quickly, very little lacing.

    Aroma is interesting. Weak, but enjoyable. I get citrus hops with a little bit of pine hops.

    Taste is interesting as well. Lots of bitterness up front mixed with citrus. As Rich commented, its a lot like eating grapefruit. It has a spicy bitter bite when it first hits the tongue. Finishes smooth and dry.

    Very different beer, but in a good way. The more I drink it the more it grows on me.
