Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber-copper color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Fresh hoppy aroma with floral and citrus notes along with a strong caramel note. Taste is bitter and hoppy with resinous and citrus notes along with some nutty notes. Very refreshing. Light body.

On tap at the brewpub on 08/23/2009. Clear copper amber body with a small frothy white head. Sweet citrus and floral hop aroma. Sweet floral and citrus flavor with a pale malt background. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Late in entering this, found the rating months later on a slip of paper in the wallet. Had this with maniac on a trip out to pick up prizes for the Dominion Cup. Big herbal hop aroma. Clear deep gold. Flavor is faintly of catty hops, herbal and citrus as well. Good lingering bitterness over the light caramel finish. Very enjoyable.
