Draught at FFF. Pours a hazy light gold, with ample white head. Aroma is grapefruit, tangerine, lemon. Taste is citrus, herbal, and slightly bitter. Palate is light, with average carbonation. overall, the best session beer I have ever had. This is one amazing beer. Wish it was available in area. Excellent overall.

Showed on tap at the brewpub when we got there. Nice surprise, I had a lot of expectations since I love citra and what I’ve heard from it. Aroma: This one is all hops: earthy, citrus and soap. Appearance: Pale orange with small head. Flavors: Light, some tropical fruits. Feels likes there is no backbone. Palate: Quite dry but too watery. Overall: Expectations were not met.

Gold in color with a thin white head. Super (citra) pine hop aroma and taste. A nice pale with great hoppiness.

Pailhead (3859) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - JUL 18, 2011
On tap: The aroma is citrusy and fruit with peach, mango, and grapefruit. It’s a transparent amber with a small white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The flavor starts with peach, mango, and a hint of pineapple. The finish has light-moderate grapefruit and a hint of mint. Light-medium bodied with soft carbonation. I’d love to have this available in Michigan.

Tap sample. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy citrus hop aroma. Moderate bitter flavor with a moderate to heavy bitter finish of medium duration. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Very good brew.

Mostly a straight up barely above average wheat if you ask me. I’m getting strong banana, clove, hints of bubblegum and small bits of flowery hopiness. Won’t have again, unless I find out this is an older not so fresh version I’m drinking.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2012 Pours a cloudy amber with no head on ta at the Hopleaf in Chicago. Aroma of roasted grapefruit. Flavor is absolutely red grapefruit. This is gumballhead’s darker stronger cousin. This beer is growing on me. It’s hard not to actually taste dust.
