Sample at the brewpub. Hazy orange-gold color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of grassy hops, grapefruit and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Med body at least. Flavor is citrus, tropicals, pale stone fruit. Grapefruit rind. Pretty dry. Rind seems to provide a decent amount of bitterness. Maybe a touch earthy. Very flavorful.
