Draught at Freakin’ Frog, Las Vegas
Amber color, creamy head, nice lace. The aroma is quite nice, caramel and resiny hops, some bitter oranges. Correct body strength, with caramel flavor, moderate sweetness, a bit fruity, not too resiny nor aggressive, correct bitterness; strangely there is a light ashy touch in the end.

On tap at brewpub
Appearance: Not much carbonation. Light amber with very little white head, no lacing
Aroma: Citrus and yeast
Taste: Thin mouthfeel. Citrus and pine
The first pint that was poured was almost totally flat. The guy next to me talked to the owner about how flat it was (owner said "that it was correct for the the style!"), but he did put on another keg. The second pint was a little better, but still was low carbonation. This may be a much better beer with the correct carbonation. I’ll try it another day and re-rate it if it’s better.

Draft. Amber beer with a whitish head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light summer fruit flavor. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness. Grapefruit and light summer fruit lingers. Very drinkable.

Draft at 6.3%. Amber color with a white head. Floral and citrus aromas. Flavor has lots of floral hop over caramel, with some citrus. Hop goes into the finish. Dry. Bitter. But soft, floral bitter.

A golden IPA with a thin lacing white head. A really classy citrusy c-hop with more mandarin like qualities. In mouth, a good citrus pulp, not very floral, more English, but very inviting. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, August 2007.

On-Tap at the Brewery Sparks NV, Pours out a amber topped with a little head. A great hop aroma (maybe dry hopped). Great tast of hops and a nice bitter finish. One of there best brews. I would have to vote.

Pale amber,lasting off white head.Fruity malt foretaste with medium strength lasting hop finish. Great Belgian lace. When I had it, it was called a Pale Ale, which it resembles more than an IPA
