Served On-Tap

A — Pours a lightly hazy though quite pale yellow color into the 16oz Becher glass. There is a nearly white colored head that forms and leaves behind some adequate lacing.

S — Smells predominately of pine and notes associated with Citra hops, piney, dank, earthy, herbaceous.

T — Taste is much like the nose, very dry, piney, earthy, herbal, lightly sticky, though mostly dry and bitter.

M — Light in body, quite light and dry actually.

O — Pretty well done overall, really dry and piney.

From notes at brewery

Beautiful hazy golden amber. Minimal head, but a delicate web of lacing left along the glass.

This... smells like weed. Like I literally looked around after sitting down to see if someone had a baggie or was rolling something up or something. This effect is augmented by a malt profile that always reminds me of german style beers.

There's a syrupy nectary dank sweetness to it followed by a hammer of intense bitterness. Finish is lingers bitterly. Medium thickness with appropriate carbonation.
Enjoyable, but I prefer previous incarnations personally.

Materful smooth lovely hop treat. Thanks Brad. Cloudy yellow with lasting lace. Tasty and most drinkable, freshly bottled just a fortnight earlier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cloudy, looks minimally filtered. Citra hops come through initially, fade quickly.

First sip tastes great, but fades. Tastes slightly skunky after first few sips.
