Appearance: Yellow-gold with excellent clarity. Bright white head with fine bubbles and good retention. 9.5/10

Flavor: Moderate hop bitterness in the beginning, followed by a clean and dry middle with a light lemon flavor. Moderate hop bitterness in the end along with a light mineral character, both of which continue in the aftertaste along with light bubble gum and, after everything else has faded, a light green olive flavor. 16/20
