Tap at the source. Hazy golden color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of flowers and light citrus. Taste is tropical fruits, pine, moderately bitter. Not bad.

On tap at Eccentric. Pours a deeP good with little head and amazing aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, and honey. Flavor is heavy on the fruity hops with enough malt to balance it out, but it comes across as just a little washed out on every third sip or so. It’s really good, but needs a little more power to be perfect.

on tap at Bell’s - amazing balance and drinkability. Our beer of choice that evening - top notch IPA

On tap at bells 12/10/11. Smells awesome. Simcoe is what I smell and simcoe is what I taste. Flippin outstanding. Oranges are heavy on the palate with some floral hoppiness. Clean finish. Very good.
