500ml bottle pours a totally transparent, orange amber with some cloudy white head. This aroma has much more straight forward citrus than the Simcoe version, pine, light sweetness. Flavor is more bitter than the Simcoe version, sweet too, good malt backbone, caramel, oranges, lemons. Medium bodied, bitter finish.

Bottle: Poured a light copper color ale with a quiet large foamy head with good retention and some perfect lacing. Aroma of citrus and grapefruit hops is dominant and quite enjoyable. Taste is a nice mix between some strong flavour of grapefruit and citrus hops with light bitter notes and a medium sweet caramel malt base. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well done though I have tasted West Coast beer where the Amarillo hops comes out even more which I was kind of hoping here.
