Draught at Phoenixville Brewpub: Aroma of hops, citrus, grapefruit, and orange. Poured amber/orange in color with a small, creamy, off-white head. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Excellent lacing. Medium to heavy bitter flavor. Tastes of hops, berries, fruit, pine, and a little alpha acid. Medium body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Bitter hop finish. More bitter than several of the most recent IPAs in this IPA Project.

[Draft @ TDR SH] Poured a clear amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, pine, floral hoppiness, grass, and a bit of citrus fruits. Taste of citrus fruits, with lemongrass, and a bitter, dry, lemony finish.
