Tap... Opaque, golden color with no head. This beer was like the combination of a fruity wheat beer with an IPA. It was a sugary flavor explosion of grapefuit and apricot followed by an intensely bitter hop finish. It was very interesting. Some gulps I really enjoyed it, others... I thought, what were they thinking? It’s certainly unique.

Draft. Light amber beer with a low off-white head. Nice grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor. Nice flavor, but lower hop bitterness. Not bad. Lingering hop flavor.

Cloudy golden colour, thin white head. Dirty hop aroma, thick and heavy resins. Light spice/herbal hops, but the malts are clobbered by harsh bitterness. No subtlety. Horrible stuff.

Tap@Tugboat. This was actually pretty bitter and lemony, some tropical lychee flavours, lots of lemon rind. Some odd dirty diapers aswell, pretty unique i thought, bitter finish.
