on tap-offwhite-gold. A-soft citrus/pine, lt malt. T-soft citrus/pine hops, lt malt.

On tap at the brewpub. Golden color with an off white head. Sharp, bright citrus hop nose. This is a hop forward beer with strong tangerine, orange peel and red grapefruit juice. This beer is a little thin with water being a flavor. Nice compliment to the pannis that they serve at the bar.

Sample at the brewery. Clear gold pour with a thin off-white head. Malty and dank nose with earthy hop notes. Malty flavor up front, but then the earthy and somewhat spicy hops come in and last through to the bitter finish.

Draft. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate hop and malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.

Half pint draft at the brewery tasting room in Buckeye Lake, Ohio. The pour is a light haze golden copper with a small off white head. The aroma is toasted malt, along with a light resin bitterness. The taste is chewy toast malt, light bitterness, and a touch of mineral in the finish. The palate is medium to light bodied, with a lower carbonation level, and a lasting bitter finish. I also got a strange coffee roast in the finish of this as well. Unique beer, not a typical pale ale.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a clear pale orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Short stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and sweet malt. Light-bodied with a moderately bitter hops character that has some citrus and spice notes. Touches of sweet malt in the background. The finish is short and hoppy. Decent all around.

This is a really nice beer. Very hop forward. Firm bitterness with citrus aroma and taste up front, with notes of pine. Very nice copper color, white head, that fades quickly most likely from the hops. Fruity notes also present from the yeast.
