My fav #1 local beer - the hop aroma is big and complex. Grapefruit and mellow grass and pine. Loads of flavour and body to balance. Easy to drink for a big IPA and great long, lingering hop and body finish.

Pours into a small tulip glass a orange infused medium golden with a tight creamy half finger white head atop.A mix of citrus fruit and dank weed in the nose.Everything doesn't quite come together like it should on the palate,resinious hops and some fruity maltiness don't seem to come together like they could,some doughy malt is there in the finish as well.All the components are there but something is lacking for me.

Not the wickedest awesome looking beer in the world without its deep copperness and vague cream colored head, with it's mostly malty nose, but we have some payback on the tongue when the onion dank pine spiked bitter meets up with the sweet ass malts.

I was worried this was an old bottle based on where I bought it but didn't have time to look it up.
Now that it's open, definately old. Very malty and hops have faded. Would like to try again fresh.
