Caramel and piney hops. A hint of rust. Pours hazy amber with pretty good head retention. Bitter and slightly tangy, malty finish. Good for style. Some lemon. Bottle from mixed sixpack.

Pours clear amber with a mid sized head. Aroma is herbal hops and cookie dough. Flavour is herbal hops, fresh leafs, pine needles and Begian yeast. Pretty good! Perhaps a bit off balance.
