From tap at Philly Beer Week 2011 opening tap. Pours cloudy to hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is classic grapefruity and citrusy hoppy. Dry, bitter, fruity and yet slight sweet. Classic dry and bitter finish.

Poured light orange with a rather large head. Citrusy hops, sweet citrus juice, and a touch of honey. Medium sweet flavor without much bitterness to speak of. Reminds me more of a tripel but not a good one.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of malt, grain, light malt, yeast, and slight citrus. Poured a muddy brown/light orange color with a large, creamy, dense, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of malt, yeast, light fruit, and some citrus. Medium body. Lightly gritty, lightly chalky, dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Lightly sweet, malt, caramel, yeast finish is lightly dry.

Bottle. Hazy amber color, large white head, decent lacing. Aroma of acetone that clears, then fruit. Taste is bitter lemons.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of grain, citrus, pineapple, and light pine. Flavor of grass, caramel malt, and citrus with a thin, watery mouthfeel.
