Commercial Description:
Not for the hopophobic! This medium-bodied, slightly fruity golden ale was inspired by West Coast hop-heads. Big floral nose with plenty of hoppy dryness on the finish.

Draft. Aroma of citrus hops, floral hops and pilsner malt. Flavor was the same with a pine hop bitterness. Pretty good.

hazy dark yellow, fine white head, lots of lace, light floral hop aroma, lots of hop flavor on a slightly sweet malt base, a surprise based on the name

On cask at the brewpub on 12/3/06: Pours a slightly hazy bright golden with a wispy-lacing thin white head. Lightly sweet pale malty aroma has some floral citrusy hoppy notes. Body starts with good light sweetness and smooth mildly bitter grapefruity hoppy balance and a touch of honey. Very drinkable and refreshing with lots of flavor.

Poured a hazy golden color with a white head. Citrusy aroma of tangerines and grapefruits. Fresh grapefruit juice flavor. Moderately bitter finish. Grapefruit rind bitterness. Light to medium bodied.
