Bottle from Death with a K- Poured a bit hazy copper with some nice foam head. Floral aroma with hops and citrus under tones. Malty herb and citrus spice feel with a slight sweet bitterness that pops up in the back end. Put together well.

Cloudy copper color with a big foamy white head with persistence and good lacing. Nose of yeast and bread with some distinctly sweet fruity notes. First thing that hits in the taste is a strong (nearly overwhelming) tartness, like a not-quite-ripe apple, or even the "tart" part of a sweet-tart. There’s a sweetness and taste of hop in there but the tartness is too strong a component in the taste. It messes up the balance. Mouthfeel is a bit chalky, which isn’t so good either. Finish is fairly generic hop-bitterness and not unpleasant, but also not remarkable.
