On tap at Local 44. Color is a light copper. Aroma is all citrus hops. An awesome bouquet of hops. The taste does not disappoint! Hoppy in the best way, citrusy and bitter. This was a great beer from Russian River. The story behind it is amusing, but what a great thing for RR to do for the fans in Philly. If you have the chance, by all means check this out. Reminds me of Pliny The Younger.

orangish copper color with heavy head presence, maybe an inch and a half which reduces nicely to a strongly present lacing that shadows the beer as it lowers down the glass. although there are fruity (grapefruit) piney hops and a sweet, honey-like taste upfront, the beer seemed to be more bitter upfront and then flowed or transitioned into a smooth and fruitier aftertaste that lingered for a while, which is the opposite of most beers like it from my experience. it certainly did not taste like the 9% abv and its smoothness and drinkability could be dangerous if you don’t watch yourself!
