Pours a brilliant light golden color with a foamy half inch ivory head that dissipates into a layer of thin film on the surface, leaving sheets of lacing.
Aroma is initially subtle, with light citrus accompanied by bready malt and a hint of pilsner skunkiness. Grassy hops emerge.
Flavor reveals more herbal hops, with a fairly sweet bready, crackery malt backbone. There's an underpinning of grapefruit and lime citrus that is fleeting, and is overtaken by resiny hops at the decidedly bitter, dry finish. There's a skunkiness present.
Body is moderate and creamy, with carbonation a touch on the high side. There's an astringent bite that lingers.
A fairly understated brew. More bitter than some examples of the style. Somewhat lacking in flavoring hops. A little too bitter for my preference.

Had on tap into a pint glass. The smell put me off right from the start. Pine-sol, disinfectant, overly lemon nose. The taste emulated the smell. This is my response to what I feel are overly spiced beers. Very difficult at the beginning, but became much more palatable midway through the glass. I am glad I tried it, but will not revisit.
