Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of orange citrus (light on the orange) and strange herb/hop green stuff. Med body. Flavor is light, mildly, mildly roasty malt with orange citrus (light on the orange) and something that seems green - South African hops - like hay? (which is supposedly the aroma of phosgene gas). And a hint of a fruit bite like passion fruit. It's not that this ale is excessively complex, it's just that it surpasses my flavor experiences to some extent. Bitter, but not harsh. Good flavor. Normally, I would not give a beer like this a 4.0, but the mental challenge deserves it. Besides, it tastes really good.
