can at home picked up from HOTM. An attractive golden orange coloured pour with a lovely rocky white head. Aroma is nice earthy pils malts, cereal, grassy leafy hop, light pine needle, lager notes, light dusty lager grains. Flavour is composed of crisp cereal , big assertive grassy hop, green liquorice, fennel, light metallic bite, earthy pils malts. Hop forward pils. Palate is super crisp , airy frothy carbonation, some resinous hops. Hops are a little too much. Out of balance.
