Keg at the brewpub, 13/11/14. Clear golden with a decent off white covering that dissipates to a swirl and edgeing. Nose is pine, light metallic notes, earthy hops, bitter citric peel, orange, caramel, jasmine. Taste comprises earthy hops, grapefruit, orange pith, pine needle, light floral notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with lightly skunked hop notes. Solid.

Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a near white head. The aroma offers up a bit of pine hoppiness blended and sweetened with crystal malts. The taste is a sort of buttery resin pine hop mix that is not working too well for me. It even gets candy like with a vague sort of fruitiness. This smells decent but the flavor is off.
