I had one last night along with 2 others at a herf and I thought it was just great. No bitterness or harshness at all, even retrohaling. Now the guy next to me felt it was harsh, but he had some sinus thing going on. The 3rd guy loved it as much as I did. I agree with Brandon, the core flavors will probably blossom in a few weeks, no big "pows" but there was flavor lurking below the surface, I thought it was solid and not one-dimensional. Got to less than an inch before I let it go out. Creamy (after the first inch), cedar, nutty are descriptors I'd use.
