(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer pours a bright copper crystal clear head with a swirl of tiny bubbles trailing up to a creamy off-white head that has craters a bit like the surface of the moon. The head last for a good bit.
S- The hint of sweetness gives way to a big green hop aroma with some earthy notes and a note of crushed green tree leaves at the finish.
T- This beer has a big pungent green hop taste right off the bat. There are notes of light fruit like peaches in the hops and a pungent hop flavor lingers after each sip almost staining my tongue.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with no real alcohol heat. The soft carbonation at the finish does boost the hop bitterness.
D- This beer has a monster hop flavor with some interesting notes but no real depth of flavor or supporting malt flavor.

Medium amber color with an orange tint.
Really nice head with great lace.
Aroma of malts, hops, grapefruit with some fruit.
taste was mild sweetness, mild bitterness, smooth and creamy and sort of a buttery taste that
hides alcohol very well.
A hop bite as you drink it the carbonation mellows out and a mild bitterness is left on the tongue.
Easy to drink with medium body with a crisp carbonation.
Balance was o.k. ,but had a slight watery finish with some alcohol warmth.

A perfect pour leads to two fingers of bready off white foam that has excellent staying power. It does leave an almost solid wall of lace as it slowly fades. Body is a boney amber in tone. Nose is softer than expected with tones of vanilla malt and mineral based hops. First sip yield a mineral based hop profile that is smooth and very approachable. hops become dryer and more prickly as you continue to drink. The backside gets a sense of dandelion stem that sticks on the tongue. all of these hops are balanced by a noticeable malt backbone which may let down some hard core hop heads, but it is nice. Mouthful is mellow with some bitterness coming through and some citrus fruit feel. this brew is very nicely drinkable.
