L-Burnt orange color..light head...

S-Yeasty...doughy...peppery...spicy with some light floral notes..

T-Yeast forward...spicy....black pepper...some green vegetal hop impressions on the finish. A bit of a sweet base malt..

F-Carbonation is on the light side but not as poor as the American IPA Fresh hop. Medium bodied.

O-This isn't a bad beer but all the spice and yeast really hinders the ability of the fresh hops to exert....BUT the blend of the green, floral, vegetal hops with the the yeasty impression works pretty well. Just not what you come to expect from a fresh hop beer.
