Aroma of sweet malt giving way to beautiful floral hops, with some peaches thrown in. Appears a clear golden-age with minimal effervescence and with no head to speak of. Flavor is of grapefruit giving way to a distinctly grainy aftertaste. Palate is medium to medium-light and appropriate. Overall, an okay beer but with signifcant flaws in the flavor and appearance.

12oz bottle poured a clear amber/pale color with a nice rocky off white head and wonderful lacing. The aromas were resinous citrus and pine with a nice malt background. The taste had the perfect amount of bitterness to just stand out over the malts without overpowering. A great dry hoppy finish makes you want more and more. Overall another well put together beer from PP.

An unclear orange beer with a thick orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops combined with light notes of alfa acids. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry and very bitter end.
