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

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.

Draft. Pours a medium amber, nice off-white head. Hops, citrus and malt dominate the aroma. Flavor is more of the same with caramel added. Went great with the enchilada I had.

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

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.
