Draft at the Three Penny Taproom on 7 July 2012. Also had in bottle. (this is a lost rating from notes) Gold with amber like hues. I smell centennial hops. Taste is real amazing given the low ABV. I get grain, citrus and some grassy notes. Bitterness is on the short side. Real clean and light. I respect what the brewer did here.

Courtesy of BOLTZ7555. 22oz bomber pours clear deep gold with thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up rich wonderful dank hoppy goodness followed by some citrusy grapefruit. Wow, solid aroma. It took me a good 10 minutes of savoring before I took a taste. Sadly the taste couldn’t hold a candle to the aroma. It was watery thin and runs into grapefruit like hop resin bitterness and then a sort of dry mineral note into the finish. It seems a bit of body and a bit of hope flavor could round this thing out. Wait! 3.5% I see. Not so watery for such a wonderful session brew. Well done.

On tap at Three Penny Taproom. $6 for a pint. Light golden brown. 3 finger head sticks around. Cloudy and gorgeous. Very light hop aroma of centennial and Amarillo hops. 50% carbonation. Incredibly light body. Taste is very sessionable but perhaps too thin and watery for my preference. Thin beer is not what I like. Anyway, very musty dusty and hints of pine. Finish is bitter
