Impression:
I'm not overly impressed with the lack of head, but the glasses I found had some soap residue, and I must not have rinsed them out well enough. Oh, well. Whatcha gonna do? Anyway, the aroma was pretty enticing -- a little floral, earthy, herbal, woody, resiny, and significantly citrusy with that delicious grapefruit flavor of Cascade hops. The flavors were much the same, though I could taste more caramel, and there was also a hint of something kind of metallic, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and I didn't taste it in every sip. It's smooth and crisp with a slightly dry finish. Very tasty!
Cheers!
