This beer began with a light to medium bitterness, with more hops pointed toward hop flavor (floral and earthy) than bitterness. It had some caramel sweetness underpinning the hops, which were vaguely toasty. I appreciated the beer rustic copper appearance, with a head well-formed and lacing apparent throughout the sampling session. In concert with the grassy and pine notes noted in the aroma, there was a nice mild resin on the back of my tongue. I felt the 7% alcohol content was well hidden, and finished fairly clean, with a medium to medium-dry finish. Overall, it was a well-crafted beer, but seemed to lack a bit of the hop punch in bitterness and flavor that would align it more closer to the style.
