(draft) Hazy amber body with off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, cherry, orange, light grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, cherry, caramel, orange, light grapefruit. Medium-full body, some resin.

Draft at the brewpub - Poured a darkish orage-amber in color with a thick, creamy light tan head that hung around to produce some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma was strong of citrus hops with a hint of some malty sweetness lingering in the background. Flavor was hoppy, but not overpoweringly so. Plenty of citrus/grapefruit. Initially slightly sweet before the hops come roaring in. Finish is medium bitter and clean. Very easy drinking for a beer with nearly 10% ABV, but it is certainly all there. Really good!!
