Intense greens of fresh hops bursting with fruitiness filled his senses. Rich yellows and golds of malted barley adding subtle sweet tones to the vibrant coloured show. The setting sun started to turn red and, as its light subsided, he was filled with a mellow bitterness and the blues of wanting more.

Bottle shared at Craig’s. Pours cloudy gold with a frothy white head. Nice juicy hop aroma with accents of peach and passion fruit. Light sweet flavor with a bit of pine needle bitterness, minerals, citrus rind. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Oily finish with more minerals, rind, dry pale bread. So so.

Orange amber, very hazy, bubbly frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of citrus, pine, resinous hops, sweet fruity caramel malts, bitter orange, grapefruit, complex
Taste of resinous hops, bitter orange, piney, lots of sticky hop resins, sweet fruity malts, citrus, touch of alcohol
Palate - Medium body, sweet malts with very bitter hop foreground. Finish is quite dry, lingering bitter zest and sweet fruits
Overall - Very good, maybe served a tad warm here
