Light grassy herbal hop nose, with some grapefruit peel and a bit of chemical astringency. Sweet brown sugar notes, too. Golden amber clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts with a bit of brown sugar sweetness before the bitterness takes over. Astringent bitterness, harsh until the end. Unpleasant. Dry bitter after. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
