Draft at brewpub from the tank with brewcrew and The Pompous Ass. Poured hazy copper with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus and light malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Heavy bittersweet flavor with a heavy smooth bittersweet and small alcohol burn finish of long duration. A very good beer.

on tap-pours a gold color. Aroma is lemon hops, secondary light malt. Taste is lemon hops, secondary light malt, some yeast. I would have said some NW hops too, but was told English-Pride of Ringwood and EKG.

Draft at the brewpub. Yellowish gold pour with very little head. The aroma is bitter hoppy with a little malt balance. Smooth malt taste with very spicy hops that linger deep into the aftertaste. Nice IPA, but not something I would want to drink a whole lot of.

On tap at the Florida Brewers Guild BeerFest 2009. Pours a beautiful clear gold with an off white head and some decent lacing. The aroma is almost nothing at all. If I strain to smell something and allow my imagination to join in I think I get a hint of grapefruit and a sense of vague sweetness. The taste starts vaguely sweet then moves into grapefruit hops and sweetness. By midway the hops bitterness grows to become something like grapefruit, tangelo and orange peel. The body seems about right for the style but the bitterness level is more along the lines of a decent pale ale.

on tap at brewpub. hoppy water. very very little body despite a slight head, like a cask thats gone wrong. very little aroma, whats there is slightly bitter, almost lager like. flavor has strong bitterness, decent hop quality. color hard to judge in dim light but doesnt seem to deviate much from the basic tan.

The aroma is hoppy with citrus and some malt and yeast. The appearance is blond with an average head. The taste is like the aroma and not as weak as some I have tasted from this brewer. The palate is also not as thin as some from this brewer. Overall this is a very drinkable beer and not overly astringent.
