bottle dated Feb 23.

Bright light amber color with a large creamy head that leaves plenty of lacing and maintains itself at about 1/2 finger thick throughout the glass. Beautiful!

Very light aroma. I think I can detect a bit of citrus. Light clean and crisp taste and body. Spicy hop finish. Good stream of medium fine bubbles hint at the palate cleansing carbonation.

A very light example of a pale ale, bordering on a lager with the impression it gives.

Recently acquired in a BIF from Cuzco. 500ml bottle served in a Hill Farmstead win glass. Bottled 4/16/13.

A: Pours a semi hazy golden yellow color with some orange highlights. A thick and bubbly head forms on the pour. The retention is off the charts (similar to my bottle lunch). It creates a crater filled pillow of head and thick, sticky lace. Just a beautiful looking beer.

S: Sweet cracker malts mixed with some stone fruit and sweet grass. Lightly floral as well.

T: Lightly lemony with some grassy undertones. Some stone fruit with some white bread malts. Nicely sweetened on the finished with a very mild bitterness that just lingers around.

M: Bubbly and light. The drinkability is off the charts. Lightly bodied with a medium-high carbonation level. Slightly swet finish.

O: A wonderfully light and flavorful pale ale that has exceptional drinkability. I wish I had access to this as I would work it into my summer rotation of Daisy Cutter and Zombie Dust.
