On tap at O’brien’s. This is the second time I’ve tried this beer. The first time was at Miami Grille, where Mission Brewery is located and it was just after they had started brewing. I wasn’t all that impressed the first time, however, the second time was a charm. This beer pours with an amber-orange body topped by a medium thick, slightly off-white head with some lacing. It’s hoppy with nice grapefruit and pine notes, as well as, an underlying malt sweetness. The aroma has a fruity, peachy note. Medium bodied, smooth and a touch dry.

May 28, 2008 Tap @ O’Brien’s. Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy white head and medium lacing. Fresh, clean hop aroma. Mostly grapefruit and orange with an earthy resin. Sticky hops in the taste mixed with a light biscuit finish. Strong hop tastes without being a wannabe IIPA. One of the best.
