Black with a tall tan head. Bursting with fresh citrus and pine hops, lightly sweet caramel malt, some light roasted malt, too. Medium bodied. Flavor is a bit stronger on the malted side than the aroma let on but there are still some noticeable citrus hop notes. Finish is nicely bitter and bright. Enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Thanks Will. Taste is good. Light maltiness, touch of smoke. Nice fruitiness. Interesting. Usual good stuff. Not so much bitterness. Roasty.
