Dark copper orange amner with a thin creamy off-white head that leaves a ton of lacing all down the glass in big swathes. Aroma is very piney and resimous. Flavor floral and piney hops with a deep rich dank body. Bitterness is potent but not extreme. If this had just a bit more vibrant hops it would be amazing. Full creamy mouth feel.
