Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a clear hazy deep amber orange with a near white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice citrus and bitter grapefruit combination with a touch of grass. Flavor starts with sweeter citrus but quickly becomes bitter with grapefruit and bitter rind.

750ml bottle pours a bright orange with some soft white head. Nose is really wonderful, bright citrus juice, grapefruit, blood orange, lemon, grassy, a little chive, some lime zest. Flavor was also a surprise, wet grass, bright scallion, grapefruit juice, pulpy, lime, sticky hop. Crisp, refreshing finish. Really wonderful.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a light amber/orange color with a small white head. Aroma was a ton of bitter grapefruit notes, pine, citrus. Flavor had a ton of citrus notes, lots of hops, and plenty of grapefruit. Bitter notes. This was pretty tasty.
