Hazy blond colour. Tasted in parallel with the regular version, the hops are mildly piney and herbaceous, it loses a bit the grassy character of the regular version hops, and it hides a bit the qualities of the malt; it's lean and dry, crisp.
Good.

On tap at Twin Sisters, pours a fairly clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle piney hops, an earthy character, and soft bready malt. Flavour is fairly restrained on the hop character, though there is noticeable bitterness — there's a trace of diacetyl in there — crisp dry finish. This leaves something to be desired.
