On tap at Clybourn location: Clear dark copper amber with a pillowy froth of off-white head. Aroma of big fresh floral hops and some spicy rye. Starts with light melon flavor and faint pale malty sweetness quickly drying out before a zesty rye bitter finish. A pretty crisp and drinkable pale ale.

On tap at the Clybourn location. Pours clear copper with a thin head. Cat piss aroma of hops citrus grass. Citrus grass flavors slightly bitter. Thin body. Dry finish. not too good. 6/3/6/3/13

I found this wonderful beer to have an excellent rye color, and a very smooth taste. Fairly light on the palate, and easily drinkable. The rye malt adds a touch of bitterness.

Tap at goose... Pours a golden orange brown with a thin frothy white head... Aroma of non-assertive grassy and a tangerine type of citrus.... Flavors start on an earthy tea-like bent with a mild sweet citrus component and finishes a but on a the dry bitter citrus rind and grassy side. A little more sweetness could have helped.
