sample @ SDBC pours clear golden, white head. Aroma / taste, hoppy, fruity - apricot, some light bitter finish and grains, light floral and citrus hops. The hops do not come across as overly bitter, and do retain some nice sweet notes.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear yellow-gold color with a thin and foamy white head that dissipates steadily. Creeping patches of lace. Hops, malt and orange peels in the nose.
