Gold color. Aromas of Citra hop, apple yogurt and muffin, apple cider vinaigrette on radicchio and green tomatoes, and tomato vine with a light-to-medium body and a short-to-medium green herbs, basil stems, lemon pith, and underripe gooseberry finish. A funky, hoppy cider with lingering bitterness that will appeal to old school hop heads.
