Backlog January 2009. Golden body under a huge off-white head. Refreshing aroma of fruity hops with some pale malt. Pale is mild malty, fruity and nice bitterness. Medium body with long lasting, refreshing aftertaste.

Draught @ Hair of the Dog, Portland, OR. Pours hazy yellowish with a smooth head. Aroma of grainy malts, grass, hay, citrus and lemon. Taste is smooth, grainy malty and grassy with some hay, earthy notes and floral hops. Finish is smooth, grainy and earthy with some hay and citrus. Feels almost like a kellerbier.

At the HofD brewery in Portland-USA. Tap. Hazy dark gold color, off-white head with retention. Nose: the best combination of malts and hops ever. Sweet resin in a medium Amber scented maltiness. Great. Mouth: little carbo, bitterness is balanced and that mild sweet HotD signature. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
