Commercial Description:
One of our all-time favorites. Exquisite balance between malt and hops with a beautiful golden pale color.

Draft sample at the brewpub. Pours a light copper color with a small head. Fair head retention and poor lacing. Aroma is herbal and floral hops. Taste is bitter, metallic and resiny hop notes. Metallic... Iron Mine? I guess that makes sense. Really no maltiness anywhere. Watery, thin-medium bodied.
