Explodes out of bottle for a five+ finger white head that fades slowly to a ring leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Strong carbonation and medium bodied. Grapefruit nose. Flavor is sour peach and grapefruit, lingering bitter aftertaste from the hops. $2.99 for a 22oz bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT.

Bottle. Medium sweet spicy citrus aroma. Body is hazy reddish orange with a very large off-white head. Flavor a delightful blend of pineapple and moderately sweet caramel, some bitterness. Lengthy finish that is bitter and satisfying. Very nice stuff.

Bottle (22oz). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with glouglouburp. Cloudy orange-gold pour, decent fizzy-foamy-creamy lasting head. Dry, floral aroma (frankly there’s definitely a characteristic McNeills aroma & taste) - pungent and slightly lemony. The taste seemed a little thin - weak malt, a lot of dry lemon, not much actual bittereness. Average-bodied, tart & astringent - perhaps the bottle was a little old? Still enjoyable, though.

Bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy golden-orange with a large lasting frothy white head. Nice hoppy aroma: citrusy, piney and spicy, along with some pale malt and grain. Flavour of citrus hops, a touch sour but not in a bad way, a bit spicy and fruity and with a long bitter finish. Average to medium bodied. Pretty good stuff.

Clear yellow orange. Smell is doughy with a little hop bite in there. Flavor is strange! Tart sweet and overly carbonated. Just too much of all of it and way too carbonated.
