10 ounce sample on tap at the brewpub. Slight citrus/pine hop notes with some lightly sweet toasted malts also present in the aroma. Pretty nice. Mildly hazy golden-copper body with a medium off-yellow head. Decent lacing. Starts fairly sweet with sugary malts, before this becomes herbal, piney, and somewhat dry and bitter with hops towards the finish. Finishes with lasting grapefruit notes. A little brash--could definitely use more malt backbone.

~Big citrusy orange aroma. similar to a creamsicle with biscuity malts. ~Pours a cloudy golden orange color withs mall lasting creamy white head. ~Strong orange citrus grapefruit flavor with grainy malts. ~med Bodied, med CO2, Creamy, citrusy hop finish. ~Very enjoyable. I liked the balance.
