Bottle. From the brewery. Hazy orange pour with a big white head. Big hop Aroma, fresh hop cones, very grassy and very green with alot of citrus notes. Mouth feel is good, carb is lively. Finish is quite bitter, a lot more than I expected for the session style. Finishes quite resinous with some citrus pith and zest.
