A dark golden pur with a tinge of red to it. A slightly off white lite head with a clinging lacing. An aroma of citrusy hops greets you first and formost. A flavor of hops first then you get traces of fruitiness like oranges and then malt. Carbonation is just a little much but not really bad. A tiny bit of a watery plate still a damn fine beer. A good hop bitter on the finish that is what I think is just right for the style.

Draft poured a deep pale color with a small off white head. The aroma had some citrus hops and caramel malts along with the proprietary Sierra Nevada yeast strain. The taste had a small amount of bitterness with more of the malt standing out. Overall a good pale, but I think I prefer the bottle version.

On tap at Beach & Brew Seaside OR. Pours out a nice amber topped with a white head. A nice aroma for a Pale ale.

Didn´t realize you could rate both the bottled and draught versions. Pale amber coloured, thick white bubbly head. Spicy and hoppy aroma. Citrousy and fresh. Flavour is malty and hoppy with a little nuttyness in the background. Slightly dry.

Draft at the State Theater, Falls Church VA. Delicious beer with a vibrant red/brown hue. Very pleasant light floral aroma. Tastes of citrus and pineapple with some spice and a judicious use of hops. Felt solid in the mouth with a foamy feel and great aftertaste. No worse as it warms up, I would definitely get this again.

Draught at The Rake, Borough. I had no idea that this was separate from the bottled version. As you would expect, hoppy with decent malt. Extremely drinkable with that distinctive SN hop profile. It doesn’t get too cloying or sweet which is a good thing as it means you can drink more of it.
