Dry hopped with whole leaf hops from the Yakima Valley, combined with Maris Otter English barley, which is floor-malted in age old tradition. A long maturation ensures plenty of flavour, with strong aromatics of grapefruit, tangerine and mango.

New Beer Distributors, NYC 650ml ($7.50): pours red with a whitish head. Aroma is pine, caramel, and fruitiness. Taste is more on the sweet and malty side than it is on the bitter side. That said there is a sustained bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. Not bad.

Bottle: Dark, sort of dirty copper pour with a moderate beige head. A bit of sticky lacing throughout. The nose is sweet, some citrus and floral hops, along with a little bit of vanilla. I think the floral hops are a bit faded and contributing to the sweetness, but just a hunch. Mostly floral hops taste and light bready malt. There is a bit of dry tea leaf flavor too. Lingering bitters and pine in the tail and somewhat warming. Better as it warmed.

Tap at the 2014 OBF. Pours clear copper with an off-white head. Aroma of lots of malt and hops. Full bodied. Flavor is lots of malt and lots of hops. Guessing floral and fruit hop. Very strong flavors. Finishes malty and bitter. Balanced? Tasty!
