Hazed golden color with a fine thick off white head. Good lacing. Looks nice. Fine pleasant intensity in the aroma. Good hoppy feeling. Medium body and a smooth carbonation level. Ok balanced bitterness versus sweetness. Citric, fruity, malty and some pine in the flavor. Nice tasty session able cask beer.
