Draft at Coles, Buffalo NY. Lighter golden orange color. Medium to fuller bodied with light lacing. Citrus & Pine aroma, orange heavy with grapefruit notes. Flavor is citrus pithy, orange rind, minerally, light pine. Decent not great

On draft at Tap 25. It pours an orange color with an off white head. The aroma is rather weak with some overripe tropical fruit. The flavor is rather dry and bitter with some pine and a mild tropical fruitiness. The pine comes out more in a strong bitter finish. This comes across as more of a APA to me.

Draft @ brewpub. Pours hazy copper with scant scattered lace. Huge hops here, the character is earthy but not dull, bright but not fruity, foresty but not like pine. Just a nice pocket. The body has gorgeous dry minerals and earth. It’s fairly big and balanced and has a purity about it like a good pils.
