Tap at J’s. Pours a deep gold with a finger of white head that lingers. Big grapefruit aromas with some light toffee, candied orange...lots of Amarillo coming out. Sweet orange, peach, apricot all appear on the palate. A touch sweet, but a really nice lingering, dry finish. Well-done DFH!

12 oz pour on draft at Dogfish Head Alehouse Falls Church. Poured a pretty much clear golden orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was nice citrus notes, boozy notes come through - not sickly sweet which is a nice surprise. Lots of citrus peel, pine notes. Light caramel notes - not totally unbalanced, but nice light malt notes with a strong hop character to it. Alcohol is there, and it is warming, but it’s not overpowering. Nice!

Tastes of grapefruit and orange citrus fruit and peel, floral, pine, light caramel, stone fruit, some booze. Medium body with a dry finish. Nicely done.
