Copper red with fizzy white head. Faint caramel aroma. Sweet caramel taste with toffee notes some roastiness and dry finish.

A dry and crisp citrus hop aroma. Not overly powerful though. Some roasty malt is evident as well. A dark reddish amber with a thin tan head. Flavor is a mild roasty toffee flavor with pleasant mild citrus hops. A little grapefruit peaks through in the flavor. Finishes dry. A suprising thirst quencher and a nice session beer.

At the brew pub in vista ca, nice fresh malty aroma and some sweet flavor on the palate, great hoopy bitterness that did not overcome the brew. Very cool brew

tap at La Quinta brewpub: red body. Aroma was citrus hops with some fruits. Crystal malts are obvious (I think/hope). Drinkable, one of their better offerings. But still nothing special.

Pours to a reddish-bronze body with a white film of a head. The flavor is juicy grassy hops + citrus hops atop an easy to drink base malt. The aroma is light. Almost smells like watermellons. The palate is medium bodied and velvety.
