Now, I'm going off memory here, but this is on my short list of favorte beers, so I speak with authority nonetheless.
Orange-amber in color with more carbonation than you typically get in a WV Brewing product. They pour their brews to minimize head and maximize volume here - probably to avoid complaints from the "value crowd, " i.e. students - so I can't comment on it. I can't recall the lacing qualities either.
The smel is of floral hops with a definite yeast undertone, like warm bread. I always get a craving for a sandwich when I drink this.
It's one of the more hoppy options at the pub, but it's remarkably drinkalbe, nonetheless. It's like they're using stealth hops or something: even my friends who run screaming from APAs and IPAs enjoy this one.
This beer goes down smooth and easy, very drinkable. It's easy to overindulge, in fact. You start out intending to buy one beer before dinner; five hours later you're still there, but still haven't eaten.
It's very good. My second favorite of their offerings, right behind the Boneyard
