Can from Hops at Home. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light caramel, grassy hops. Taste has a nice lick of bitterness, then a solid malt backbone. Clean finish. Nice.

Can at home picked up from HOTM. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a proportional rocky white head. Aroma is nice fresh green cereal, spicy grassy hop, fresh grains, dusty grains, Flavour is composed of fresh cereal grains, spicy hop, herbal notes, green. hint of fennel. Palate is super crisp, spicy hop, highish carbonation. Just a hint of smoke. Lovely.
