Hops Infusion
This beer pours a clear and clean orange with a nice half inch of sticky header. It does cast off some lacing on its way down. Nicely carbonated. The nose is one that can be detected from afar. Sort of a spoiled smelling grassiness. Herbal and earthy. The smell carries a very sharp aroma. Hops are established. The taste carries some cap metal traits, but is also infused with a good deal of hop freshness. Pines come to mind in a sappy and dry manner. This feels quite resinous. Grassy notes adorn the pine attributes. The malt aspect is in place and helps this thing to stagger toward balance. Light sweetness launches the hop platform. Hops are the main character in the taste. Very fresh and green in perceptual translation. A bitter grassiness seems to be the overall flavour. Nice, but still mild. This is not a brutal hop crusade by any stretch. Mouthfeel floats around at a light to medium weight. This is easily enough to float the profile. Drinkability is fine. This is a rather unremarkable example of the style though.
