Enjoyed in a tulip at fridge temperature.A &#8211; Straw gold appearance. No head formed.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; TONS of simcoe on the nose, hints of pine cone and tangerine.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Taste is very nicely balanced. A combo of very low malts and a hint of bitterness from Simcoe and some other more piney and citrus hops. Some grassy characters. Sweet\/bitter finish.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Medium carbonation and body<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; This is a nice beer.
