On tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy amber with a smallish white head and some lace. Smells balanced with dry cereal malts and lightly bitter hop scents. Tastes hoppy and citrusy but with great, sweet cereal malt flavors as well. Slight caramel maltiness as well. Solid medium body, good carbonation.

Draft. Amber beer with a light cream colored head. Light grapefruit and light tropical fruit aroma. Grapefruit and light herbal flavor with light tropical fruits and some caramel backing. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and light tropical fruit lingers with a bit of light pine.

Great staple brew. One of the best local Micro-Brewed Pales in the SD area. the bitterness just pokes through, but well balanced. Great full mouth feel, will go with any food or by itself.

Sampler at Breakwater. Pours hazy amber, lasting white head. Aroma is hoppy, pine,amarillo light malts. Taste, hops, citrus for a light bitter finish, some grapefruit, mixed with a faint malt. Solid pale ale that keeps a good piney mouthfeel.
