Poured from a twelve ounce bottle into a chechvar glass. Pours a dark straw with perfect clarity. Nice fluffy head lasts very well. Sticky lace is left all around the glass. Aroma is floral hops and biscuit malt. Slight fruitniness comes in for a second and the end whiff is bitter and piney with floral clover type aroma. Flavor opens with clean and pungent hops, the simcoe takes the lead followed by chinook and cascade. The malt comes in and gives a sweet smack. There is plenty of pineapple and grapefruit, more grapefruit than I have had recently. Finishes dry with a nice jab of bitterness. Mouthfeel is very good. Medium bodied with a nice crisp amount of carbonation. This is an excellent beer. I am assuming that I got a really fresh batch because this beer is right up there with the best for hops flavor. One of my current favorites. Recommended.
