Draught @ CBC 2013

Pours clear golden yellowish with a smooth head. Aroma of super fresh hops, lemon, citrus, exotic fruits and malts. Taste is fruity, hoppy and lemony with some citrus, exotic fruits and zesty notes. Finish is warming and fruity with some zesty lemon and herbal touch. Nice, hoppy and fruity DIPA, but the alcohol comes through a bit too much.
