First pour from the keg that went on at Harry’s Hofbrua. Man....Rodger has flippin’ nailed another one!!! Insane juicy, citrus hop aroma. Hazy orange with a full white head that was slightly limited in duration. Taste is like squeezing and orange and other citrus hops into a glass, with a moderate biscuit malt support. I could drink this all day long.

Taster@Faction. Pours clear golden with a very small white head that dissipates quickly with some residual lacing. Aroma is light, but wonderful with exotic notes of passionfruit, pine, citrus, dank goodness. Smells a hellova lot like Alpine Nelson. Lightly sweet and lightly bitter with a bit of cat piss in a good way. Body is light and perhaps a bit watery, but this is a lovely APA.
