Clear deep golden with medium off white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of grassy notes. Sweet malty flavour with hints of hops, toasted malt and caramel notes. Slightly bitter finish.

Bottle as Paranoid Pale Ale. So much hop it suggests cat pee (that’s a good thing). I say citrus/floral (not grapefruit) with some resin/pine. Color is darkish coppery with tiny bubbles. The white head ringed quickly. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is hop - starting with pine, passing to grapefruit, and back. There is some malt, but balance favors hop! Finishes crisp and dry. Pretty good APA.

Bottled. The body was dark amber with a light khaki head. The aroma was strong peanuts with some light oranges. There was also some whole wheat bread. The taste was bitter grapefrit some some almonds. A black tea finish. A decent APA.
