This year we hosted our Mild brothers from Forest and Main to brew a riff on a golden mild/ pub ale with fresh Amarillo from Crosby Hops. Brewed with golden promise, maris otter, and touch of biscuit malt. Hopped in the kettle with Fuggles, then steeped through 200 lbs of fresh, wet Amarillo. This one has notes of lemon poppy scones, orange blossom honey, grapefruit pith, pine resin, lemon-lime citrus, fresh cut grass, marijuana, and Woodburn terroir.

16oz can served in a nonic pint glass. Don't see a date on it. @jonphisher shipped it to me. Aggressive pour.
Hazy dark yellow, medium to thick head on the pour settles into a nice, even skin. Smell is soft but clear hops, tempered nicely by grainy / yeasty notes with something of a woody character.
Taste is right along the same lines. Has a nice cask flavor, hops shine a little brighter, grain melds into a bit of honey sweetness, woody note contributes to a nice, strong bitter aftertaste. Might be a hint of lime rind.
Mouthfeel is soft and dry, little cotton-mouth texture, light but satisfying texture. Overall, really tasty, really nice.

Pours cloudy; gold, shades of orange; white head, dense, creamy looking; substantial lacing.
Nose is so full bright and pungent fresh hop character; fresh citrus and citrus flesh, lime zest, rind, little bit of pine needle; way backseat is some biscuit and scone.
Taste oozes with fresh hop glory; pithy citrus, distinctly grapefruit like, sprite comes to mind; fruit flesh, mossy, sticky sap on the finish; great hop burps; shockingly exquisite.
Light body, softened and smooth carbonation; mouth coating sticky hop resin; moderate bitterness that bites and lingers, clean finish.
