  • Pours an amber copper color with a quarter inch creamy yellow head. Nice retention on this beer. Nice lacing.

    Aroma is sweet and malty. Citrus and malts and bread.

    Wow.....big blast of bitter hops hits me on the first sip. After getting past the bitter bite I am realizing that this beer starts out sweet and malty with bread and rye and works into a citrus hop. Finishes with a dry pine hop.

    Medium body with light carbonation. Mouth feel is creamy and smooth.

    Overall a pretty good beer. The malts and the hops seem pretty well balanced and makes for a pretty easy drinking beer. The bitter is a little bit on the strong side, but after a few sips I get used to it. Enjoyable and different. Try one!
