Draught, brewpub. Deep amber, slight haze. Frothy fresh bubbling head. Floral, earthy, with minerals. Not bright but packs a good hop kick. Lots of citrus in the body including pith and seed. Some walnut too. Long finish. Very good!

Well this is a surprisinly good beer. Nice bright amber color and by the time it made it to my table, no real head. Aromas are a mix of hops, malts and citrus. Flavor is complex with some sweetness and a good hop backbone. Nice.

Vibrant orangey-amber colour with some haze. Very earthy aroma - wood, grapefruit and a pleasant spiciness. Firm, rich bitterness with fat sticky crystal malts, brown sugar sweetness, breadcrust and grapefruit. Fresh berry nuances emerge as it warms. Nice stuff.

Sampler. deep golden color, thin white head. Nice grapefruit, citrus hop aroma. Flavor is a clean pale malt. Followed by a crisp hop bitterness. West Coast Style American Pale Ale... NICE!
