Bottle. Pale pour with thin white head. Light hop grass aroma. Thin flavor, there is no adjunct in this but it tastes like extract is used. Non satisfying finish.

Bottle: Pours bubbly, brassy gold with a short, off-white head. Aroma is peppery spruce, light fruit. Fruity, grassy flavour.... nice even bittering. A good session beer for the style... Pretty good stuff.
