Pours a perfectly clear amber.. Sudsy white head rises up and leaves only spotty lacing.
Nose has the expected PNW punch of piney and lesser melon/tropical fruity hops.. well balanced maltiness for an amber... light caramel and a little bit more dry toast... Smells great.
Again the dry toast malt is a big player.. the hops show as modern fruity varieties with a background of piney hops... Very well balanced .. Makes me think of MacTarnahans Amber but with a 2015 twist..
