On tap at Beveridge Place Pub. Pours cloudy dark amber with a decent off-white head. Nose is earthy pine, taste adds some caramel. Bitter citrus hop finish.

Orange-caramel color with plenty of lacing. Aromas of orange hops, pepper and sugar. Flavors of buttery hops, it’s peppery and slightly spicy with a bitter finish.

Opaque orange color with a creamy and lacing head. Strong grapefruit hop nose and a taste well on the bitter end. Clean finish.

On tap at Pike Street location. Dark orange in color. Aroma of fruity, sugar, tropical fruit and citrus. Flavor was pretty sweet, sugary and a bit fruity/tropical. A bit unique and quite tasty.

Tap at Tangletown; Cask Conditioned; great aroma - very fruity; nice balanced hop mid palate; faint citrus bitterness resides throughout palate; has a bit of w.o.w. factor to it; kinda feel joyous getting a chance to embrace this beer. (#36)
