Hazy, dullish tan-gold. Not much head. Aroma has some orangey, grapefruity hop, with a little lychee brightness. Has a fair bit of bitterness but it comes with a hop-powder sulphury note...I don’t know if I’m describing that well...but it’s not a great taste and leaves a sort of astringent scraping on the tongue. Overall, that harsh bitterness detracts from an otherwise decent ISA, since it takes away from that grapefruity hop.

Draught at the brewpub on June 18, 2015.Clear straw yellow color, white head. Malty, cream taste. Hoppy aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, medium low bitterness. Hoppy scent.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a hazy dull blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out toasted crackery malt, soapy floral notes and a little diacetyl. Flavour is similar, bringing out a really bitter soapy floral hop character and diacetyl. Dry crisp finish. Infected and astringent in a bad way. Quite bad.

Draught at the brewery
Blond color, quite pale, with almost no head. Interesting hoppy aroma, fruity, but also with a strong impression of summer fields, manure, yellow weed flowers, dandelion. The mouthfeel is very dry, quite weak; the malt flavor unfortunately has some paper character; it has the expected bitterness, but not the expected hop quality (fruits, hop resins).
Drinkable but too simple.

Draft - Sweet passion fruit and light citrus. Clear gold with a decent white head. Citrus, peach and a dry peel bitterness. Nice, but the bitterness is a bit overwhelming. UPDATE - Draft at brewery is much different, so seems to have variation. Not nearly as good as the last one I had.
