Cask @ Brewhouse. Good citus orange and grapfruit aroma. Orange cooper body with off white head and plenty of lacing. Juicy body texture with citrus orange the more doninate along with some dry grapefruit in the background. Good refreshing brew on the palate.

On tap at Sonora Brewhouse 11-11-07. Nice head sticks around; slight cloudiness. Color is (too?) light, almost like a cream ale. Aroma screams grapefruit, as expected with Simcoe hops. Mouthfeel is watered down, a disappointment given the wonderful aroma. Taste is similar to aroma -- all grapefruit with a little malt to back it up. This is an awesome attempt at a Simcoe Pale, but needs a bit more body next time.
