Thanks go out to Grant for a chance to try this one at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA.
Pale orange pour with good clarity and a small, soapy ill-formed head. Quite floral in the nose. Not nearly as big as I was expecting given the reputation of this beer.
Well balanced – even quite sweet – there is just no way that I would describe this a a very hoppy beer at all. Floral, sweet notes continue through the beer until a bitter finish.
Not what I was expecting at all. Well balanced, refreshing and simple, not the silly American version of the style that I had been led to believe it might be at all. Tasty, balanced and simple – imagine that!
