Appearance:
Light amber with golden hues. The head is rocky, creamy and frothy which sticks to the glass all the way down to the last gulp.
Smell:
Good dose of sweetness both from the floral hops and caramel malt. Very aromatic and a pleasure to the nose.
Taste:
Sweet malt, a little caramel, with a sublime hop oil flavor which lets through a more than ample bitterness that has a spicy bite to it. A hoppy finish with some residual sweetness and drying grain are in the end.
Notes:
A very well crafted brew, enough hops to go around yet still very balanced. Soon to be a classic (first brewed in 1984), an excellent fall back or session beer also. 4.75 percent abv.
