A super hopped American pale lager brewed exclusively with Zeus hops. The wet green dank aroma of the Zeus hops pour out of this beer with sweet hints of orange. Pleasant resiny hop essence dominate the flavor profile transitioning quickly to a bold bitterness that seems amplified due to the light clean lager finish

Bottled 4/14/16; drank 5/7/16 @ the Yarchives.

See-through yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a huge white head; a thick curtain of frothy lace.

Lime, fresh cut grass & faint honey notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Orange citrus & mild caramel flavors up front; an extremely dry, bitter finish. This was decent up front but the finish was absolutely brutal & unpleasant; I've had my last.

Pours hazy gold with thick, medium, white head that lasts a while. Good lacing.

Smells spicey, grassy, dank, pilsner and bready malt and hints of pine.

Tastes citrus, bready malt, flavors on lighter side. Grassy and hints of pine. Dry finish with a light bready and citrus linger. Lighter side of medium body and fizzy medium carbonation.

Pours a hazy, gold color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of spicy hops, floral hops, slights sweet malt, slight pale malt, a grass. Fits the style of an American Pale Lager. Mouth feel is very sharp, clean, and an average carbonation level. Tastes of zest, strong citrus, spicy hops, floral hops, grass, and slight sweet malt. Overall, good appearance feel, but the blend has too much orange zest.

This beer pours a hazy golden color. There is nice carbonation in the beer, and the head was fairly thick and frothy. Some lacing. The nose has a nice citrus hint to it. It has notes of orange to me. The taste is a lot hoppier than I expected. Nice hop bitterness to it. Very slight orange taste. I would say that it has a "dry" feel to it. Delicious brew from Short's.

Pours a straw color with a finger of white head. The nose has strong lemon notes. The body is light as is the flavor. The finish is pleasantly semi- dry and semi-hoppy.
