Can shared at RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Thanks to GT for this one. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a white foam head. Very tasty. Moderately crisp. Notes of melon, tropical fruits, dried pale malts.

Bottle. Pours with a clear golden yellow hued body with a large white head. Aromas are grainy, bready, grassy, floral, dry, pepper, low sulfur, low metallic. Flavors are of a bitter, citrusy note, mild doughy, mild DMS, strongly grassy, light floral. Very bitter balance and duration. Too aggressively bitter for overall balance. Mild salinity. Dry lively.
