(Bottle) Clear reddish dark brown with thin tan head. Lovely aroma of pine and citrus. Medium body, smooth creamy carbonation. The hops are dominant in the taste from the start to the good long bitter finish. Some malty and nutty notes do valiant battle with the hops. A pleasant and unusual hop driven beer.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head that’s soon less than a coat. Aroma of lychees, pineapple, grapefruit, walnut oil, mocha. Silky mouthfeel, lowish carbonation. Fudgy sweetness, lots of tropical fruit - dunno whether the pineapple really works - citrus gets a bit lost, as do the nuts. Pine needles come through at the finish. Bitterness struggles through the sweetness and arrives a bit dull. Lots of good things but they’re just bumping into each other.
