Pours amber with pretty big head. Aroma of citrus hops and slight malt. Taste is rather average with a thin body and slightly watery mouthfeel. Still better than a macro though.

A deep golden ale with a thick head. Had a fruity grapefruit type aroma with a good use of malts and light hops. This was a good pale ale for a hto day but nothing else.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep, golden amber. Wonderfully light, fluffy white head. Hints of citrus in the aroma. Very thin body with a slightly metallic finish. Nothing too memorable here.

Distinctly grapefruit aroma and flavor, hops are very strong and have a bitter citrus character. Really quite good.

Intense grapefruit aroma. Pours a nice orange amber color with a small oily head. Tastes like hops and grapefruit and a bit of yeast. Really good and really smooth easy to drink finish. Great beer despite what most may say.
