Tap at the brewpub - Northampton. Pours clear yellow-gold with a fine, foamy white head. The nose has strong pale malts, alcohol and pine needles. Medium sweet flavor with stringent alcohol, more pine needles, white bread, grapefruit rind. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Quite warm to finish with still more pine needles, sweet pale malts, some citrus rind. A bit abrasive and heavy.
