Wow. This blew me away. Maybe they’ve dialed it in? Anyway, at OBF. Pours a clear orange color with a medium white head. A bursting hop nose, citrus. The flavor is huge galaxy hops, citrus, smooth not bitter at all, toasted malt base. The is perfect. Super drinkable. Awesome! Best beer of the festival.

Nice crisp copper coloured body with a crisp, amber glow. Aroma of alcohol, light malt, sugar and a touch of light hops. Medium-bodied; Grassy and slightly nutty flavour with a touch of grain and some light hops. Aftertaste shows sugar, caramel, nuts and not a whole lot of hops. Overall, not such a great beer, but worth trying, since it’s new. Sadly, this doesn’t compare with most beers from Portland here! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased yesterday from Zupan’s (Burnside) in Portland, Oregon on 02-May-2015 for US$4,99 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Portland on 03-May-2015.
