tfontana (3801) - Fremont, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 17, 2020UPDATED: SEP 17, 2020 Can from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. Appearance is clear golden yellow with moderate sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine and florals. Taste is bitter over flavor. The flavor that’s there is pine and that’s about it. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin, frothy texture, soft carbonation and crisp, dry, bitter finish as taste. Overall much ado about nothing. Yes, it’s bitter but not exceptionally so relative to peers, with little flavor.

bdleedahl (4795) - , Saxony, GERMANY - FEB 28, 2020UPDATED: FEB 28, 2020 It’s not my style, so this still comes across too bitter and a bit unbalanced. But it is classic to style, but i compare it to pliny, and it’s just not quite there for me. Avery boulder
