Shaker pint draft at the brew pub in Villa Park, Illinois. Pour is a really cloudy dark copper with an egg white smallish head. Aroma is fresh resin, light citrus, floral and a hint of pine hops. Some nice toasty malt in there as well. Taste is equally fresh, with a nice balance between the floral citrus grapefruit hops and the fresh toasted cracker malt. Finishes dry with some mineral and clove yeast. The clove is more grapefruit after it opens up some. Palate is medium bodied, unfiltered mouthfeel, a touch under carbonated - dry and drinkable.
