Taste & Aroma: This is a balanced beer as I said. The aroma is of resin, pineapple, and a slight bit of pine. Floral hops are present at the aroma’s tail. This beer has a malty fruity start which then turns into tart citrus, and finally a quick hop bite that is neither under powered nor offensive takes place. This is the perfect finish.
