This one has leafy, herbal hop aroma with some pine, mint, and soft grains. American all the way.
The taste is fresh, leafy hop resins without much malt complexity and a long, dry finish. I could have used a little more of a malt profile in this.
It's not bad, but there are a lot better choices out there right now. I don't factor in price when reviewing, but there are better values.

Sample from bottle, at Vectura-messe, Deep golden colour. Fruity and piney American hops in aroma and flavour. Bitter aftertaste, nearly an IPA. Okay.

Nitro version - obviously looks spectacular with a warm caramel body and ultra dense creamy white froth. Nose suffers from the nitro - faint citric perfume sums it up. Evenly balanced between caramel malt and citric/floral hops. Soft and subtle from the nitro with a clean finish. I would like to see this around in the non-nitro version, though this is fun as the occasional change-up.
