Can at the meeting last night thanks to whoever brought it! Hazy light golden color smattering of white bubbles that dissipates quickly. Big lemon and citrus presence with just a bit too much diacetyl to allow me to enjoy this one.

6 ounce draft at the source. Red / or amber in color, some head retention on the way down. Aromas is very tame; light floral hints, tea leaves and weak fruity notes.
Flavors comes off more like an English IPA. Earthy caramel malt with floral hops give the beer bitterness. Bitterness is moderate with the malt giving a huge sweetness. Also a tea like note in here. I guess it is balanced. Reminds me of and imperial IPA brewed 15 years ago. Leans on the sweet side with the hop punch on the low side. After the sample was gone, the alcohol was known.
