Bottle @ Pre-Borefts Tasting, courtesy of the European Crew! Pours a hazy reddish amber beer with a big off white head on top. Aroma of citric hops, light fruits, some hay and grassy hops. Flavor is quite bitter and hoppy, well balanced and full bodied. Longlasting, lingering bitter finish. Nice one!
