On tap at the Phoenixville location. Poured an amber color with an off white head. Aromas of floral hops with some pine. Tastes floral hops, pine, and had a light spiciness in the finish.

Draft at the Blind Tiger. Some floral and pine hops in the aroma. The flavor has some slightly earthy malt up front followed by a citrusy / piney hop bitterness. Tastes a little like a dry-hopped beer though with the hops being somewhat metallic, but it’s not too bad in that regard.

clear gold, fine beige head, bits of lace, light floral hop aroma, sweet crystal malt flavor, light balancing hops, nice bitterness starts halfway through for a long earthy finish, this nice bitterness is the best thing going for this beer

Draft. Darkish amber pour. Overhopped and not well balanced for my tastes. Mild hops - interesting but not very enjoyable to my taste.
