Big thanks to Tyler and Brian for letting me try this.

Pours a slight orange-ish gold. Big white, soapy head.

Smells nice. Abundant floral hops with some citrus notes. More floral/fruit than pine.

Taste ... I can't put my figure on what the problem is. It smells hoppy and nice enough, but the taste seems a bit thin and one-note. Hmmm. Weird. The hops are a bit medicinal and citrus-y, and the malt sweetness is very understated.

The mouthfeel, despite the big head, is strangely watery.

Best thing about this beer is the aroma.
