Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a near white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has notes of bitter pine and grapefruit as well as a light grain backbone. Flavor starts with grass and a bit of light citrus but finish is mainly resin with a touch of sweet grain backing.

Draft at the brewery. Paired great with my burger. Grapefruit, spicy hops snd tropical fruits with a decent caramel backbone. Wish i could have had a growler to bring home.

Tap. Pours clear amber with a medium beige creamy head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is pine, citrus, and caramel. Flavor is the same, medium sweet and medium bitter, lightly metallic on the finish. Very malt forward with caramel and bready notes. Medium body.
