A: Poured a lightly hazed deepened yellow with good carbonation leaving a nice white cap, lots of bubbles and some lacing

S: Grass and flowers with whiffs of some tropical fruit

T: Immediate bitterness, like a drying potent bitterness that just lingers on and on and on. The intial burst of bitterness is accompanied bu grass, flowers and som light trpical fruit notes. The finish is bitterness, pretty clean and a medium dryness

M: Medium bodied, perhaps a wee bit to carbonated with some astringency
