Sampled from the tap at the Aces & Ales Nellis. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice dank citrus and light pine combination with some pre ripe mango underlying. Flavor has dank citrus and a bit of grass with some pine in the finish.

Bottle drunk at Scott's house for Christmas dinner while Scooter oinked outside in the background. Lightly hazy amber, moderate head. Great nose of sweet orange-lemon (Citra?). Flavor has a broad hop spectrum with citrus and tropical notes plus some smooth earthy background bitterness. Perfect balance and completely crushable.
