Jun 10, 2007 Draught @ Capone’s. Amber/ruby with a light foamy head. Aroma of murky hops, resinous piney hops with a bit of citrus and light malt aromas. Flavor is initially syrupy & sweet then immediately overwhelmed by the piney resin flavor of the hops. Slightly grassy with a candied fruit finish and very heavy palate with sticky finish.
