Bottle 65 cl. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Intense and fat hop aroma with some overripe fruit. Quite full-bodied, sweetish caramellish malt and a pretty solid malty feel. Again some overripe fruit. Perfumy hops in the finish med a surprisingly discreet bitterness. 290509

22 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Arlington, VA. Pour hazy amber with a large head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Very strong hoppy aroma with lots of resin and citrus notes and a toffee finish. Taste is toffee and loads of hops, particularly tropical citrus notes and a bitter resiny finish. Sticky texture and full bodied. Very nice beer.
