Got from Good Times Oakland.
Canned December 30th so..super fresh.
Pours a pale clear gold with a substantial head of foam, good retention, good lacing.
The smell is noble hops, grassy, spicy, bits of grain here and there, wonderful aromas.
The taste lives up to the smell. Noble hop bitterness, including grass in all of its glory, on the spicy side, grain is mostly noticeable when I swish the beer in my mouth.
Mouthfeel is no slouch either. Somewhat sticky on the tongue which is a positive when the beer is this good.
