pine-sol

Flavor: sharp and hoppy, with a slight pine-sol but not in a bad way brightness, not super-bitter, but very flavorful in a grassy-hoppy kind of way; the hops are very definitely up-front but a solid maltiness lies beneath that implies that this beer could age interestingly

Summary: some of the descriptions of this seem strange ("pine-sol", "off-grape") but only because, I think, it is so unlike very many beers; it is actually similar flavor-wise to Dogfish's Midas Touch with it's non-traditional, grape-like, beer flavors; it's very nice, but approach and presentation are everything with this - if you were to pour this into a shaker pint and hand it to someone to drink as a beer they might be put-off; but with a white wine glass and paired with a dinner (sautéed whitefish with capers?) it is very approachable comments:
