On tap at Brookland pint, pours a hazy gold with some creamy, white head. Nose is OK, pithy and piney, some orange and grapefruit, a little malt. Flavor is the same, crackery with grain, then really just soap, pine and citrus pith. Finishes full bodied, bitter. Perhaps Columbus makes up the majority of the hop schedule? Or Idaho 7?
