clear dark amber, frothy beige head, solid lace, sweet caramel malt and citrus aroma, creamy body, lots of hop flavor, nice citrus character, sweet crystal malt provides great balance, nice long bitter finish complements the hop flavor rather than distracting from it

Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear amber color with a creamy and thin light beige head. Lacing coats the whole glass. Floral hops aroma, with a touch of fruit. Medium body, with a nice hoppy flavor. There is a good amount of malt and citrus flavor as well. The finish is hoppy and bitter and lasts. Pretty enjoyable all around.

Great floral aroma. Nice amber appearance, but could be a little more red. Flavor is lacking a little bit of finnishing hopps.

Draft only. Nice golden color with a medium white head. Nice grapefruity hop aroma. The texture is reasonably thick and the hops definitely shine through on the flavor. There is some malt to help balance out the hops. I have certainly tried hoppier brews, but this is a reasonably well balanced and quite enjoyable example of the style.

The beer is a slightly amber, hazy color. Dense, thick head of small bubbles, as is typical with nitro beers. Hop aroma is that of citrusy hops. There is a strong underlying malt base, but the hops are very strong. The beer is good, but it is lacking a little bit of balance. Unlike something like a Stone, The hops are just there. Good, but could be better.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear amber pour with a thick frothy off-white head. Mostly malty aroma with some earthy hops. Dank malt flavor with an earthy hop finish. Would have preferred a lot more crispness.
