Slightly hazy (but mostly clear) orange/yellow brew with a big 'ol white fluffy head and a couple little swimmers. Head fades after a bit. Nose is floral hops, and lots of 'em. Slight rose scent. Taste is a footrace between hops and malts all the way through, with bitter hops pulling into the lead in the last few meters. Hints of pine. Alcohol is well hidden. Nice mouthfeel, and drinkability is up there. Solid beer choice.

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.
