Draught at the brewery
Golden color, clear, small head. Biscuity character from the malt, grapey fruitiness from the hop, also light manure aroma, and dry mouthfeel. A bit of chicory-like bitterness in the final, not too disturbing though.
Interesting, very good.

Draft - Citrus peel and some earthy hops. Pale gold with a decent white head. Light peel and decent bitterness. Not bad, but nothing special.

On tap at Bomber, pours a clear pale golden yellow with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of floral hops upfront - there are some buttery notes in back. Flavour is along those lines, with soapy floral hops upfront, and a little diacetyl further back. Doesn't have the usual metallic seltzer quality that most ISAs have, but it has the aforementioned off-notes instead. By no means undrinkable, but it could use some work.
