Lattina. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare opalescente. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

Pours clear amber into a shaker. Tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving chunky sheets. Pine aromas. Medium bodied with sweet banana nut bread upfront turning to earthy pine in the dry, medium length finish.

Tastes like toothpaste. And a downright murderous feeling of rage towards my boyfriends roommate.

Notes from August 2009 The scent of hot asphalt coming through the AC really works my appetite. Pint glass pour. Toasted, chill-hazed orange caramel color. Chunky off-white head. Sticky resins turn the glass ugly. Smell kind of like what you'd think dry-hopped Tang would be like. Just a touch bready in the back. Citrusly bitter upfront, nearly tart(& quite refreshing). A touch steel-y though. Midway through a sourdough sort of malt fills it up, dragging along whatever lingered. Aftertaste is almost salty. Feel isn't my favorite. It's a touch gritty. The alcohol, though low, paired up with the hop oils, becomes solvent-like. BB: 09/30/09

Tap at 100 piv. Medium body, rather high carbonation. Medium caramelly maltiness, med-light sweetness. Medium bitterness, with a light dull metallic edge. Actually close to none hops character. Lightly earthy. Another one that was probably hit hard by the transit.
