From notes 10/14/12: Pours a deep gold producing 2+ fingers of white, frothy, chunky, lasting head that leaves nice streaks and rings of clumpy lacing. Aroma is citrus, grass and some caramel malt. Taste is pine and grapefruity hoppy backed by caramel malt and a little butter with almost no sweetness. Finishes spicy. Exquisitely bitter from start to finish with an astringent and lasting bitterness that lingers long into the aftertaste. The bitterness becomes a little cloying by the end of the pour.

Light yellow colored lager like appearance fits the bill. 1/2" white head. Aroma was actually a weird mix of mild hops, lager yeast and I swear, wheat?

There was more bitterness than dry hopping despite commercial hand job claims otherwise. Bitter. Copper bitterness with lager yeast overcome.

Have never been a fan of their hoppy offerings, this one is no different.

From tasting notes. The brewer grafts an American hop bill onto a lager and produces a crisp, clean, refreshing hop forward beer that works. A floral, spicy, aroma with citrus and fruit notes melds with light pilsner malt scents. The hop citrus and fruit flavors work well with the light bread and grain lager background.
