The simple malt bill gives an ABV of 5.8% which carries the flavour and really allows the hops to shine through. The hops used are of American origin, Colombus, El Dorado and Cascade. With multiple generous additions in the kettle and further dry hopped before it reaches you as fresh as it can be.

Bottle. Golden color. Aroma of grassy hop, herbs and malt. Taste has grassy herbal hop, bitter floral dryness and some malt. About 2,5 months old, but tastes like it has already been a year since bottling. Expected more.

Taste is pithy and citrus oil bitter. Clean mouthfeel. Fine, sharp carbonation. Dries out somewhat towards the end. Nice and clean.

Tap at Against the Grain, Dublin. 5.8%. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malt, light grassy hop citrus. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, fresh woody light resin hop bitter, light tropical fruit palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a great example of the style.
