Amber with a large foamy head that lingered and left great lacing. Grainy, citric and tangy. Medium finish and body.

Notes from October 2009 32oz growler, boring pint glass. Having nearly spent my accumulated tolerance for all things hoppy these past few months, the sample I had of this stuck me as a bit more then generic. The price was pretty good too. Something like $4, maybe a touch less. Perfect inch of soapy off-white head. Clear, toasty golden body. I see that there's some sediment down there. Next fill gets a good swirl first. A puzzling, yet invigorating combination of bittergreen tree bark, Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum, menthol, & just a little toast. Not great, but I could probably pick this one out of a lineup form now on. Taste is more toasty then grassy, though the bitterness lingers & masses into a bit too much menthol & pine. A bready sweetness that is very clean & dry & refuses to completely go away. A touch of green apple sharpens it up. A little copper becomes noticeable as the second glass begins to wear on you. No sappiness in this one. Carbonation is a touch better then average, but not biting. It's warming, but the alcohol remains in check & doesn't rush to the front. I was pretty let down by their Watermelon Wheat, but this one stands pretty solidly in a saturated field. :)
