22 oz bottle poured into schooner glass.
Rich copper in color with a white head that dissipated quickly. Floral, a little fruity, maybe a little pine in aroma. A very nice dry finish with a bit of astringency, a touch of malt sweetness and a medium body. The sweetness is covered by the hops for a very nice bitter beer. Grapefruit flavor is there and very pleasant.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured into a pint glass. A pretty clear copper colored ale with a slim layer of head.
A bright smelling beer. Lemon, grapefruit and prickly pear.
Smooth tasting, malty beginning gives way to a dull bitterness that hits the back of the mouth. The malt is in the body of the taste, not sweet but balanced nicely with the hops..
Smooth texture, almost creamy, medium body, low carbonation.
A great beer.
