White soapy head with a clear copper color and a citrus hoppy aroma. Nice citrus balance with a bitter hoppy back end. Very nice beer.

Growler courtesy of beachbum25. Pours copper with a generous white head. Smells of citrus, perfume, resin, dough, caramel, some light pepper. Tastes moderately bitter with lots of earthiness, touches of citrus, some spicy hints. Finishes earthy. Very enjoyable!

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 15, 2008 Draft at Bel Air. Pours amber with a dissipating white head. Nice floral and fruity nose. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Toffee/ caramel like maltiness (with a hint of toastiness that fades as it warms) countered by an aggressive grapefruit rind bitterness that carries through to the finish. Some slight lingering resin as well. I swear I taste a hint of noble hops. As a guy that is picky about IPAs, this is decent.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: DEC 20, 2008 A deep, piney, earthy bitterness on this one. Body is medium, just about right on the sweetness, not too much, not too little. Did not detect a whole like of citrusy aroma or flavor, but I thought this was pretty good.
