One pint can obtained from Half Time in my last order, glad to finally taste it. I have my ABGB tulip glass in place and the tab is lifted. Oh oh, a volatile opening, maybe it was me but be aware of the possibility. The pour is a semi-transparent gold-orange body with a persistent cover of completely white foam. The smell is all around after my mishap and it is pleasant enough in the style. Plenty hoppy, yellow fruit, bread and a touch of grapefruit. The taste is only an improvement. Hops again, resin, some orange marmalade, grapefruit in abundance and a strong malt backbone. A bit of sweetness offset by lots of bitterness. Plenty good in my estimation.
