Dark amber, copper color. Its a hop beer with a lightly bitter, floral and sweet hop aroma that has a bit of a sweet malt backbone. The hops are also a bit musky. Flavor has a bit more bitterness to fight the musk. But it isnβt dry and crisp like the description explains (those are relative terms but its not as dry and crisp as I would want). Loss the musky and we got a winner.
Growler, Duvel tasting glass.

Growler filled at the brewpub by beastiefan2k, shared about 3 hours later. Pour is almost entirely clear copper brown with a one inch white head. Aroma of resin citrus, some maltiness. Aroma initally quite fresh, then fades quick. Taste is soft biscuit maltiness, with the resin citrus (orange) behind that. Palate is pretty flat, thin to medium, almost watery at the finish. Decent enough, thanks for sharing Eugene.
