On tap at Full Sail in Hood River. Colour... cloudy, amber-orange with a thick off-white head. Nose... citrusy, hoppy and some pine. Palate... a very quick bite of hops, followed by citrus and tropical fruits, and backed up by a good layer of malt. Finish is lengthy and bitter.

Hazy amber color; medium creamy head. It has a very nice hoppy aroma, fruity (with sweet oranges), light pine needles and sweat. The body is strong enough, it has a good caramel flavor, I would probably like more sweetness (here almost absent) the final is quite powerful, getting a bit harsh, and nutty. Starts well, ends less well.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with an off-white lacing head. Pleasant citrusy aroma with a whiff of peach. Medium body, overripe fruit and burned caramel. Hoppy finish. Appears stronger than it is. 220909

Light and breezy. floral citrus apricot on the nose. touch of malt up front and dry finish. not sure if I’d call this "Aggressive" in any way. although it does compete well with some supposed "doubles" I’ve had.
