Poured yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus. Pretty good hop presence in this one. Light and watery finish. Good session brew.

Eh. This seems a tad overrated to me. Crystal clear copper color wtih not much head. Aroma is boring malt and more malt. I think I smell some decent hops. But the 2 do not meet in harmony in this beer. Watery and just a tad off. Oh well.

Bottle. Pours a medium copper color. Mild hop aroma with light malt & citrus. Flavor is mildly hopped. Expect a little more with the name.Very easy drinking & pretty good

On tap @ the Draft House (Atlanta airport): Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head with nice lacing. Aroma has a mild hoppiness that brings out the citrus. Flavor is citrusy with a crisp dry bitter finish. Refreshing!

On tap, pale copper gold color with thin cream colored head. Subtle hop nose, with a very well balanced flavor and clean finish. Very easy drinking.

bit of a sweet malt hop aroma, pale orange color, a bit of a sweet taste, little bit of a hop aftertaste.
