Poured a pretty golden amber in color with a medium off-white head that produced some very nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is strong of pine resin hopiness. Flavor is also very hoppy with pine, but well muted [...]
By VTHopHead-Admin, on November 6th, 2009 I have been drinking a few pumpkin ales lately… ’tis the season for harvest-type ales, of course.
