Draft at Maple Shade. Poured a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma was apricot and cat piss, prbably only the second time that I have found this aroma in my beer thankfully. The flavor was fruity and earthy but the cat piss still crept in there which was not pleasant.

Golden-orange with a mildly hoppy and sweet aroma. Flavor has some light sweetness with gentle hops and a solid finish. Good, but not a standout.

On tap at newark location. Clear/yellow in color, small head. Weak aroma, flavor was crisp malt. It is listed as an IPA, I would of never guessed. Maybe a little earthy/grassy in the after taste but not hoppy that is for sure. Thin/watery texture. Over all a weak beer that I would not get again.
