On-Tap at the Brewery (There for the 04’ Reno Air Races)
Brown ruby color with a light head & moderate lacing. The aroma is citrusy and dought with a light fruity hop character. The flavor is a touch bitter & balanced. Finishes brief & caramelly. Not an assertive IPA but decent.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was dark gold to copper with a white head. The aroma was light grapefruit and almonds . The taste was bread dough and bitter bread crust. There was also a little bit of grapefruit.

A golden IPA with a thin lacing white head. A really classy citrusy c-hop with more mandarin like qualities. In mouth, a good citrus pulp, not very floral, more English, but very inviting. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, August 2007.

On tap @ Great Basin poured a clear amber with a small diminishing amber head. Aromas of citrus, floral, light earthiness and a hint of carmel. Palate was light bodied crisp and slightly dry. Flavors of grapefruit, carmel and light pine with a crisp lingering bitter finish.
