Sampled draught at O’Briens, San Diego.
Deep golden. Surprisingly neutral nose. Boldly malty, yet clean and watery up front, followed by an immense hop explosion with pine needles, ink, salt and bitterness. Strikes me as being more offensive and rude than balanced.

Thanks to Lord Gorlock for another fine souvenir of the 2004 World Tour. This pours a deep Copper with hints of red. The head is thick and creamy. Very weak aroma. Some malt and hop character, but thin and somewhat weak overall.
