Small bottle, thanx Rick! Poured hazy deep amber-reddish with a small delicious tan head. Resiny hop in the fruity aroma with fine toasty caramel, light vanilla. Oily body, smooth mouthfeel with caramel malt, sweet flavor, resiny and strong hop gives a fruity bitterness to the finish. Complex brew, veryvery delicious.
