Pours a hazy, orange-golden color with a huge, spongy white head.

Smells of autumn leaves, garden herbs and fresh earth, together with a well nuanced malt note. Has a layer of papaya underneath, together with a well fitting cake sweetness.

Offers a very high carbonation level, almost a bit harsh during the beginning, which lets the beer appear harsh and thin. The mouthfeel gets better though, turns softer, which opens up the palate to the noble hops.

Its beginning is a bit of a failure on the palate, metallic and harsh, due to the overly bubbly carbonation. Stale, copper infused malts turn softer once the initial effervescence gets turned down, developing a white bread dough flavor, finally inviting the hops to the palate. They provide a grassy freshness, together with dried garden herbs and a blackberry note. Finishes abruptly, suddenly there is only an aqueous softness left on the palate, which gets joined by a late, enjoyable herbal dryness.

The least convincing example of their hop cruise so far, lacks balance, appears to be pretty thin and the hops don't add a lot to the base beer.
