Poured a medium golden orange color with a small sized, off white head. Aromas of pine, citrus and floral. The aromas on this one was all hops. Tastes of citrus, grapefruit with a malty note. The hops in the flavors were a lot 'softer' than the aromas.

Thanks to whaleman for sharing this hand bottled brew from the brewer...
Appears a cloudy amber with a soapy white head and scattered lacing. The head fades into a nice film that lasts for the duration of the drink.
Smell is of a huge hop bill with lots of citrus and pine, along with some caramel malt coming through.
Mouthfeel is slightly watery with some bitter hops sticking around . A tad more balance was needed IMO but it's still a decent beer.
