Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up pine, grapefruit, citrus pith and then mild malts and crystal malts. The taste delivers smooth malt nuanced pine hops and grapefruit hop bitterness that doesn’t approach the resiny hop realm. It gets a little grassy and spicy hopped to midway and then sliding into the finish with a crystal malt like sensation. Wow! I swear this is a 8% or 9% beer. 13%? How. A beer to be cautious with as it will kick your teeth in if you give it the slightest chance. Damn!
