clear gold, fine off white head, lots of lace like winter ice on a window pane, sweet crystal malt aroma with balancing citrus hops, lots of citrus hop flavor backed by sweet crystal malt, a touch of skunk weed character in the hop flavor, a nice bitterness rises in the middle and lasts through a long but tempered bitter finish,

On tap at the brewpub. Light amber with a white head. Mild lemon and grapefruit citrus nose, some pine, light caramel. Solid caramel malt flavors slightly overshadowed by a citrus and pine bitter. Very drinkable - nice.

Fairly big hop aroma featuring pine, citrus and canabis. The body is orange/tan in color and holds a firm white head that is mostly lasting. Very hoppy fore with grapefruit and kind bud canabis making up the main flavor. Yes I have tasted good pot. A lighter caramel malt notes is pushed to the background. Probably decent methadone for hop-heads trapped in Atlantic Beach.

Draft at brewpub. Poured hazy copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Medium bitter flavor with a bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Pleased to find this brew.
