Pours a deep amber with a huge white head. Huge hop nose, strong floral and citrus. Taste is strong hops, slight raw hop, citrus with balanced pine. Finish is strong but smooth. Very nice.

Served with a sheet-lacing ecru head over a deep yet clear copper body. Soapy florals above pepper in the aroma carry through to the flavor. I enjoyed it despite my scant notes.

Nose of fruit, flowers, and pine. The brew is clear copper with ruby highlights. The white creamy head is mostly lasting & leaves good lace. Bitter and burnt flavor with a heavy citrus presence and a long finish. The full body is dry and soft. Very nice indeed.

Copper color with a small beige head. Mild hop aroma. Nice bitter hoppy flavor. Not citrus or floral more of an English hoppiness.
