On tap at Mountains Brew Fest, pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice crisp hops some light bread malts. Taste is more of the nice crisp citrus hops bread malts and a little bitterness on the end.

Draught @ Beer Run, Manhattan (April 2024). Pours clear golden with a small foamy off-white head, faint grassy aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter malty orange peel taste with grassy flavor, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Not terribly exciting.

Can from Sprouts Mkt in Woodland, CA. Pours clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is dank/fruit. Med body. Pale malt is discernible. Hop is strong and biting. Dank/citrus/pale stone. Seems a bit thin with time, but the flavor and bite are very good.

2 month old can A: Clear pale gold with very little loose foamy head or lacing, but what's there lasts. S: A little grapefruit citrus with pith and zest over wafer cookies. T: Bitter, tart and dry at once. Again, citrus dominates with pith and zest, except more lemon lime than grapefruit. A faint berry note and a little wood but no real sweetness. A hint of mango at the end. M: Light but stiff carbonation, light body and clean finish. O: Not a lot to this but I like it.
