22 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear golden color with a medium frothy white head. Good head retention and lacing.

On tap at the Cisco Bar, Terminal B, Logan Airport, Boston MA. Straw yellow. Slight haze. Flowery hop aroma. Sharp fruity flavour. Hops evident but not so aromatic as on the palate as on the nose. Light, fairly dry mouthfeel. Clean and refreshing. Decent stuff. Had no idea this was 7.5%. Dangerously drinkable for the strength.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale golden pour with a nice sticky white head. The nose is fairly hoppy up front with a lot of grapefruit and a bit of sweet fruit as well. A touch of light earthiness with a kiss of light zestiness. A little bit of lingering orange peel flavour. It’s pretty nice really. Good balance with a nice hoppy finish.
