tap at the brewpub last summer - This brew smells of grapefruit hops and bourbon. The taste is primarily big citrus hops bitterness. There’s also caramel malt and bourbon that come through well in this full bodied brew.

Draught at HopCat, RBSG 2010. Green apple, grapefruit, Japanese mikan flavors, with lots of citrus zest, especially grapefruit peels. A bit of bourbon in there too. Doesn’t work for me. Sloppy and harsh.

On tap at Hopcat during the RBSG. Poured a reddish hazy amber with a off-white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of citrus with just a bit of bourbon underlying. Flavor was similar with citrus and a bit of a light fruit as well. The bourbon comes out a bit in the finish.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a large tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Hoppy aroma with notes of straight grapefruit, other citrus and berries. The taste is bourbon, grapefruit, resin, other citrus notes and toffee. Medium-full bodied. Nice.
