Layered thoroughly through the boil with cascade and Simcoe, whirlpool hopped with Idaho 7 and more Simcoe, and dry hopped with Citra, Chinook, and even more Simcoe, this thing is loaded with all the clean, bright, energetic, citrus-laden, woodsy, coniferous resin you could ask for.

Pours mostly clear, light amber, no red hue leans more into light brown, slightly off-white head; cohesive and dense, average retention, great lacing on initial pour.

Nose is chock full of toasted malt and old school hops; sticky citrus peel, caramelized and toasty malt, earthy and vibrant sappy pine needle.

Taste delivers the goods noted above; beautiful balanced interplay of caramel malt and hop perfection, toasty and rich malt layered with sticky citrus peel and sappy pine; has that pine cone character of being both woody and piney at once; makes my tastebuds come alive; pinesol for days.

Mouthfeel is quite pleasant, medium body, lightly chewy on malt, heavily sticky on hops; a very pleasant combination, tongue comes alive with prickliness that leads to a lingering bitterness; for all the maltiness it dries out quite well and finishes remarkably clean and bright.
