Draft. Poured a hazy orange copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus and earthy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. My expectations where met.

Light wheat color, minimal head, good lacing. Light wheat taste overlapped by strong hops that carry through finish. Not much balance, but good for hops lovers.

Pint at the brewpub back in October. Pours semi-hazy orange/amber with a thin white head. Aroma of orange, pine and a bit of malt. Citrus hop flavor with some pine and a super bitter grapefruit finish.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2011 On draught at Byrne’s Pub for "Hellbilly Hop Night" on 10/12/2010: The beer pours a clear orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Piney hops aroma with malty undertones. Medium body with a moderately hoppy character that is resiny and piney. Sweet malt in the background. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Above average overall.
