Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow cardboard to semi-orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: sweet Vidalia onions, huge bursts of citrusy pulpy to pithy whiffs, light grassy hops and a fantastic scent of fresh pine married to a superb biscuity/bready malt base
Flavor: superbly blends the prior noted aromas together in a pure bittersweet blissful way while giving way to a great finish of the onions, citrus and piney hops
Texture: medium bodied, surely a sipper, extremely soft and creamy on the tongue
Overall: another superb knockout by this brewer, almost makes me want to move to Nashua, NH, woweeee
