Can thanks to GT2. Pours hazy butterscotch, small creamy white head, nice lacing. About perfect so far. Aroma is lemon, grass, honey, citrus notes, a bit of pine. Flavor is citrusy, a bit of grass, light sweet and light bitter. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. A lot of good things going on here, but it has a really harsh bitter finish that was kind of a turnoff.

Very cool packaging (bottle is wrapped in burlap held in place by bent wire). Too bad the beer doesn’t really live up to it. Pours a golden copper-yellow with good-sized, quickly-dissipating head. Aroma is grassy and the flavor is,too. In fact, the flavor almost tastes like the burlap was accidentally dropped into the fermenter. None of the big hop bouquet or citrus flavors you might expect. A disappointment.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours copper with a slight yellow/beige head. Aroma is earthy with a little caramel and some grape hint. Med body. Flavor is quite earthy, fairly eclipsing the malt. So it’s strongly flavored, hoppy, earthy, pretty bitter. Develops a bit of light stone fruit. Nice experience.
