Cloudy reddish-amber. Big, mesa-making head. Mossy, woody, kumquaty hop aroma. Fruity, bitter, calamansi taste, with pommelo, passion fruit and wood. Hops get a bit metallic at the end. Refreshing.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy citrus aroma. Dry malty hoppy bitter flavor with hints of citrus. Has a dry malty hoppy bitter finish.

(draft) Clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, lemon peel, grapefruit, some caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, herbal, herby. Medium body, light resin.

Aroma of citrus, and perhaps floral, hop. Amber color with an off-white head that laced a bit. Starts with medium body, mild carbonation, and floral hop to die for. The finish is nicely bitter. Forgot to notice the malt, but on reflection it was there. The effect is to make the mouth want to stand up and dance. It is drinkable liquid hop. More so than some so-called DIPAs. As the label says, refreshingly bitter.

Poured a medium and slightly cloudy amber with a smaller sized off white head. Nice aroma of grapefruit and light oranges. Tastes of mainly grapefruit (very one dimensional). Medium bitter with a thin body.
