Hazy golden color. Aroma is sugary with some spicing, light grass. Medium bodied, some alcohol but still very drinkable. Decent.

On tap at Stone. Dark yellow with a fizzy white head. Grape and fruit aroma and taste with a metallic finish.

Draft at Naked City. Hazed toffee brown with small ring for a head. Tart caramel apple, some light spice, slightly tart green bananas as well, lactic. Kind of thin and watery in feel with light carbonation. Really tart and appley, caramel, pecan. As it warms I get this weired lively carbonation on the the end that is like bakin soda. Not sure what happened here, but my glass seems to differ from others ratings and super tart/sour.

Draft @ Naked City; muddy orange with trace white head; stale malt aromas with lemons and a slight sourness; drinks with light fruity flavors and obvious tartness and zing on the lips; crisp malts and stale lemons; thin, flat almost syrupy texture; was pretty excited to see this on the board, but a very odd beer overall
