Medium orange hue; very see-through. Obviously filtered.
Noticeable bitterness & hop aroma in the nose.
Nice white head, good lacing throughout.
As for the taste...where did the hops go?! They're in the nose but vanish on the tongue. Tastes very much like a lager to me. This has 3 months left on it's 'best before' date, so can't blame it on age.
Watery, with no discernable flavor. A touch of bitterness on the back end, but hardly noticeable. After an interesting nose, this macro falls way flat.

From notes 3/6/13: Pours bronze amber producing 1.5 inches of frothy, beige, moderately lasting head that recedes to leave nice sheets of webby lacing. Aroma is fresh and hoppy with pine, earthy herbal and citrus notes with a caramel malt background. Taste is same with a heavier malt backbone with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
