Light body but strong hop presence. Fairly sweet with notes of citrus. Finishes clean if not underwhelming.

This beer pours a clear medium golden with a nice head of tiny white bubbles. Citrus, lemon and grapefruit on the nose. Taste is a nice hit of hops with more of that grapefruit presence at the front. The taste disappears towards mid and finishes with a little bit of metallic hint. Body thin and fluid. Just a bit tangy. Overall somewhat disappointing after a good first impression. On tap at pies and pints Worthington Ohio.

Pours golden with a really thin white head. Aroma is very lemony, strong lemon zest, good hops and some cat urine. Taste is good clean citrus hops, nice bitterness. Good solid beer.

Draft sample at CMBF 2012. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Solid smooth citrus wheat and earthy hop aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation with soft carbonation. Medium citurs bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable brew

Sampled at the ’12 Columbus Microbrew Festival. Pale gold color with a thin white head. Big citrus hop nose. Flavors of grapefruit rind, orange zest and some lemon notes, all over a thin bready back bone. Long, burning grapefruit hop tingle in the finish. A little thin, but still a solid hop head beer.
