Different bottle than pictured. Clean, but a bit ordinary aroma. Head and color a bit lacking. Good sweet/hoppy balance, maybe just a bit heavy on the hops. Nice tingly feeling. Pretty good.

12 oz. bottle I received in a trade with unclemike. Pours a slightly hazed amber with a thin linen white head that faded to a ring after the first sip and left no lace. Mild aroma of malt and citrus. The flavor is equally mild with light malt and a bit of citrus. Mild-moderate bitterness at the finish. Ok.
