Backlog tap rate. Pours with a clear yellow hued body with a white head. Aromas are grassy with notes of resin and papaya, clean with a low malt character. Flavors are hop forward, grassy, resin, medium light bitter with a bitter balance, pine and mild fruit. Clean finish.

Shaker pint draft at Pizza Port in Carlsbad, California. The pour is a clear orange, slight golden, with a one inch white head. Head falls with nice lacing. The aroma is softly sweet fruit hops, perhaps mango, earthy resin hops, along with cracker malt. The taste is very fresh, and very hop focused - the fruit and citrus of the nose is present, along with a good amount of earthy mineral resin hops. The cracker malt is present, and balances out the hops some, though this is certainly a hop centric beer. The palate is medium to light bodied, active carbonation, and a dry earthy finish. Nice stuff.
