Amber colour. Big citra nose. Rich clean bitterness, just a hint of biscuity warm amber malts, and a dry finish that begs for a full pint.

22oz bomber. No date but it’s the first time I have seen this beer in Seattle, so probably relatively fresh. Amber copper color. Not much head or retention or lacing or is it the glass. Aroma has a touch of butterscotch, metallic- generic moderately bitter hops that don’t smell like anything interesting. Malty tea notes. Flavor has even less actual hop flavor and just a generic moderate bitterness and metallic, souless quality. This is more like malted bitter seltzer than a beer that is meant to showcase a hop. I’m so tired of these types of turds. It’s not bad, aside from the touch of butterscotch, but it’s a lack of doing something for flavor versus convention.
