Draft: Light opaque copper, disappearing head. Quite tangy lemon and grapefruit taste. Well timed orange peel finish. Very slight hop aroma. Judged solely on taste it is fantastic.By now, my opinion of the brewer is hit or miss, but mainly hit, and this is one of the good ones.

Nice aroma. Poured a clear amber a little dark for a pale ale. Nice malt and hop taste. An enjoyable beer.

On tap at the brewery. Dark brown/orange pour with no head. Light floral/citrus nose, malt and liquorish. Flavor follows. Light overall.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark for the style - hazy caramel color, thin ring for a head. Weak nose, anise, caramel, some nutty notes. Seems under-hopped for an IPA. Light citrus flavors, some anise notes. Strange, but enjoyable.
