12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Cloudy apricot yellow with less than half a finger of off-white ring. Aromas of citrus, floral notes, bitter notes, tropical fruit. Tastes of grapefruit citrus, wheat, bitter notes. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Low carbonation. Not terrible but I’m not really feeling this one, bad batch perhaps?

Bottle from Total Wines, Bellevue, Seattle, WA, USA. A hazy yellow coloured pour with a small white head on top. Yeasty, citrus aroma. Tastes slightly hoppy, yeasty, citrus, floral. This one didn’t really do it for me but I love Hair of the Dog.

Pours a yellowish orange. Quite cloudy. There seems to be a nice layer of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Medium head, white. Good lacing. Pretty good retention, as well. The aroma is gentle and pleasant. Floral notes with some grapes and peaches. It smells of honeysuckle and light, sweet fruit. Pale malt. Sugary. The taste is moderately dry. It starts with pale malt sweetness and a good amount of that fruity, floral hop flavor. Considering that the aroma is relatively weak, there’s a surprising amount of hop flavor in the beer. Things dry out significantly in the finish. Bitterness is light. Mouthfeel is a bit fuller than expected. There’s some body to the pale malt and lush hoppiness. Good beer. I’d like more aroma, but it has a very nice flavor. Easy to drink.
