Had to try at EBF.

Looks like an IPA. Golden with bit of copper tint.

Aroma is green onion and hint of citrus hops.

Flavor is all layers of onions. I could not drink a full pour of this, but it is what it is and this was expected. Would be good for cooking. Definitely fits in with the EBF theme.
