473ml can. Pours a clear amber-copper with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild aroma of bready caramel malt, toffee, earth and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, toffee, grapefruit rind and floral in a dry, bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with an almost creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to put back.

Lots of sharp grapefruit. Pine. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter ass finish. Was hoping for more from this west Coaster from these guys but doesn't live up to their classics.
