Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a cool papery matte chocolate colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up an inviting blend of grapefruit, pine and thin dark roasted maltiness. The taste delivers similar character with citrus grapefruit hop bitterness laced with bitter pine. To midway the roasted maltiness shows up and struggles to take over the flavor wide hop load. Toward the finish the hop bitterness turns a bit pine hop like to further energize the experience. Nice stuff.
