Hazy orange yellow with a respectable white head. Aroma is floral and piney, and suggest a sweetness that is not present in the taste. Fairly dry and resinous with a spicy bite, and light biscuit in the finish. $7.5/22oz

Growler shared by goldtwins. Deep amber-gold beer with a thick white moussey head. Aroma is quite spicy. Lots of chinook bitterness and a light pine/grapefruity nose. A very nice light spiciness. Flavour is lightly sweet initially. A bit of herbal spiciness, lightly peppery booziness with a soft lingering earthy hoppiness. Fruity and a bit of chewy hops.

Growler thanks to hophead22. Poured a hazed deep amber with a small off white head. Great hop forward aroma with citrus and grapefruit skin. Some floral hop as well. Sweet caramel malt base. The flavor is pretty citrusy with some pine. Long hop bitterness that is moderate. Semi dry woth a medium body and some warmth.
