Pint. Hazy golden colors with big cascading bubbles (no head, thanks barkeep). 95 IBUs according to the chalkboard. Big citrus nose. Initially sweet and then hugely hoppy and bitter. Mouthfeel is crisp and chewy at the same time. I was pleasantly suprised, a very nice beer.

Pint at the brewpub. Slightly hazy light bronze-copper, smallish quick-dying head. Dry, grapefruity-orangy nose, hint of pepper, quite strong. On the tongue, lightly sweet at first, but hugely hoppy almost immediately...dry and lightly smoky, massively bitter, a bit light and watery; yet somehow the hops don’t quite burn and the beer remains very drinkable and pleasant. Powerful for sure, but still a fairly easy-drinking pint on a humid day.
