First sip is smooth. The hops are couched nicely in a citrus and bready basket. I can taste the pine in the back of my throat, so the label is confirmed. The carbonation definitely burns the tip of the tongue, and the rest of the sip is pretty straight-forward. I don't know if there is complexity lurking under that beautiful stark white head, but I'm inclined to find out.
Tip-in is orange slices and a bit of bready grains. The carbonation doesn't seem to be doing much. The middle brings the pine hops to the back of the throat where they churn and release a bit of a floral taste with the pine. Carbonation is tingling the mouth well when the finish finally starts to come on. A short shot of bitterness hits, is replaced with a bit of wood, and then another shot of bitterness hits and releases slowly.
Bottom Line: A very good beer that would compliment a meal well. If you wait for it to warm a bit, it becomes very, very drinkable
