Tap at Haymarket pub and brewery, Chicago - 04/11/12. Lightly hazed dark golden with a thin off white head that soon clears to a pond and the edge of the glass. Nose is a little soapy, pine, hops but the soap is just a shade too prominent. Tastes of pine, hops, tropical fruit, mineral tones, a little peppery and once again a touch of soap but enough to detract from a good tasting beer. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter finish.
