tap at brewpub-pours orange with a nice froathy/soapy white head. great lacing down the side of my pint glass thoe whole way. nose is chalk full of cascade goodness-fresh and piney. Flavors are hoppy with a nice sweet pale malt backbone keeping the balance here. finish is piney with grapefruit notes. Very much an SNCA clone, but it works. clean and crisp.

Tap at Bethesda. Smells of lemon and assroted citrus. Copper to orange color. Tastes like a pale but not too hoppy. Finish is all citrus.

On draft in Bethesda. Poured a light orange/dark gold, not much head. Good aroma of citrus and flowers; slightly sweet. Flavor was mellow and good. Good balance, not overly hoppy. Flavors of grapefruit, floral and malt.

Draft in Behtesda: Aromas of pine, lemon, grapefruit. A copper color, minimal head. A sweet sugary malt front to the flavor, with definite cascade hops and lemon, grapefruit.

Draught at Brewpub during RBSG DC 06 Weekend Bronze color, thin head, nice lacing. Nose of cascade, light dry malt malt. Earthiness. The flavor is balanced, nice hopping level and a medium body, lingering in the finish. Decent.
