Amber pour with a thin lasting head and decent lacing. Floral and citrus hops in the aroma. Pretty fruity actually. Nice. Floral citrus bitterness initially with some sweetish malts for balance and a nice fruity effect. Linger floral/citrus finish. Hoppy.

Full bronze color with fantastic creamsickle head. Sweet, pungent hop aroma heavy with grapefruit and over-ripe fruit, perhaps from Crystal hops. Nice hoppy flavor, with again, grapefruit and the apparent use of Crystal hops. This feels like a ton of IBU’s. Not bad and certainly packs a wallop.

On tap at Safeco Field in Seattle, WA at Mariners game--Poured a light amber body with a medium off-white head. Mildly toasty with a decent malt bill. Sharp piny hops that unfurled into a citrus punch as beer lingered on palate. Easy drinking and rather bitter.
