Member Notes: 

Somewhat opaque, bright orange gold in color with a bright white head. Aroma is very fruity and soapy, floral, unique... Not sure how to describe the nose. Herbal, plant-like almost. It's soft and cuddly in the mouth, neat and almost sour and full of wheat. I thought it was supposed to be rye. Yeah... No rye. Wheat. Good for a wheat, though... Hoppiness makes up for the wheat well. 7 4 7 4 15 B - noss


Club & Brewer Notes: 

No wonder there's a hop shortage. Brewed special for the OBF, Rocket Dog launches four types of hops at five different intervals into this brew. Roasted barley and rye, pale and Munich malts give this beer a red tint. Fermented a little on the dry side, this thirst-quencher is a hop lover's dream.
