Draft - Light pine and grapefruit. Cleanish copper with a decent beige head. Orange and pine with a watery weak finish. More caramel notes would have helped.

On tap at Northwest, pours a hazy amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is subtle, with notes of light piney hops and dry bready malts. Flavour is dry, with lots of piney hops balanced by dry bready malts. Well-balanced but not overly interesting. Boring but decent.

12oz bottle pours with a clear amber colored body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up malts, a bit of roasted malts, some citrus hops and then a mild degree of earthy herbal sort of hoppiness. The taste delivers malts, a sliver of nuttiness and malt roastiness and then it quickly gets into bitter to resiny hops that are citrus, pine and then an herbal kind of hop earthiness. It seems this creates a pleasant meeting between malts and bitter to slightly resiny hops.
