Tap at the tasting room with WeeHeavySD. Sweet fruity nose. Lots of big bright citrusy hops... grapefruit/orange/lemon and a big piny spiciness as well. The yeast is quite prominent throwing off a sweet clove and bubble gum flavour that works pretty well with the big orange citrus. Really hoppy and very, very, tasty.

Draft at Mugs Alehouse. Lots of Fruit on the nose,slightly musty, Pours light golden and hazy with a big frothy white head. Sweet fruits on the palate, I get peach and an almost bubblegum like characteristic that other people have described, Also a bit of tart bitterness. Interesting.

Tap @ Linda Vista "DoBelgo" on the board. Pours a deep golden orange with a frothy off white head. Nose held the usual big citrus hop in addition was a unique Belgian / bubble gum character.....different and awesome!

Tap @ Homebrew mart with JoeMcphee. Pours gold with a tan head. Nose is swet and hoppy, and great. Taste is hoppy and yeasty and awesome, really cool unique combo.
