Thank you Jim (RatedZ) for sending me two of these… Had both of them in the same night, wife really enjoyed this so I had to share.

A – Bright clear yellow/gold color, nice thick white head develops and leaves a nice lacing on the glass.

S – Super fresh smell, nice warm grapefruit and other not as dominating citrus notes. Some nice floral aspects also, and it just keeps growing and growing. Also can’t forget about the malt, which is sweet, but doesn’t take away from the rest of the nose, which is very hoppy.

T – Citrus hops, but not so bitter as unbearable more balanced throughout. The floral hops just add an additional layer of complexity, but as a positive. The malt makes a nice little addition, similar to finding a toy at the bottom of the cereal box.

M – Very crisp and refreshing, wish hop season was a little earlier in the year because this would be a fantastic spring beer. Carbonation was perfect, couldn’t have asked for it to be more spot on.

O – Like I said above, wish hop harvest was earlier in the year, this would be a fantastic spring beer, its so crisp and refreshing.
