Orange yellow color, off-white head. Aroma is citrus, floral, malt, caramel. Flavor is the same plus a little hoppy. Pretty smooth.

[Draft @ Bishops Arms, Gothenburg] Pale amber with small but firm head. Could hardly get any aroma out of it! Flavour was thin and watery with a short wave of hops. I really like the bottled version, but I was really, really dissapointed with this one.

A nice sweet aroma and taste makes this one of my favorite beers in bottle or on tap. Weird how the bottle is a twist off though as mostly good beers aren’t. Still up on the air if it tastes better on tap then in the bottle.

Nice copper color with a peppery hop aroma. Pretty rich head with nice lacing throughout the glass. Great citrus flavors with hints of malt and a clean, dry finish.

Pours nice golden with white head. Has an herbal hop aroma and flavor. Nice malt accent and balanced with a dry hop finish.

Pint at the Orange Park Alehouse. Golden yellow beer with a nice white head. Good but mild hoppy aroma. Flavor was good but mild and only a little better than some of the much less expensive macros. I was somewhat disappointed in the draft since it seems to have a lot less character than the bottle version which I think is pretty good. Mild malts and hops, not much bitterness. Definitely not worth the $5.95 price. Only a little better than Fosters which was the house special at $2.00 Previous raters must have been loaded drunk to rate this over a 4.

Draft at HDG. Light copper with varying head, depending on how clean the glass is. When poured right, this is as good looking of a beer thats out there. A fresh keg is as aeromatic as they come with a nice spicy hoppiness. Tangerine and orange zest abounds with a nice malt balance.

This is one of my favorite beers. The taste is very distinct and enjoyable. Definitely a bitter beer, yum!
