Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Clear bright orangy color, average to medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, hops, lightly resinous. Flavor is malts, a bit sweet and somewhat bitter, more malty than I had hoped and the resinous hops are there but less dominant than I had hoped. Hmm ok, had higher hopes.
