Shaker pint draft at The Bar in Mission, Kansas. The pour is mostly clear golden copper with a well formed ½ inch white head. The aroma is soft citrus hop, resin, floral, some leaf and grass. The taste is leafy grass upfront, floral herbal, a bit of the orange citrus and cereal grain towards the back. The palate is medium bodied with natural carbonation and the resin floral grass finish. Lots going on in this one, tasted like a fresh hop beer, though not sure if it is.
