This first batch is 7%. Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that has a copper hued core that supports an off white head. The aroma offers up spicy Cascade hops, citrus, a touch of floral hops and then a light sense of malts. The taste delivers nice bitter citrus and spicy hops flowing into a ribbon of citrus hop juiciness and just a sense of floral hops. The malts show up midway and are then cut down by the fairly rich bitter and lightly juicy hops. This is just clean and deep and goes down oh so well.
