On tap@Rams Head (nitro). Hazy, dark orange body with a dense white head. Aroma has a light and sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, some bitterness, a hint of bread and a bit fruity. Medium body, typical session beer. All in all decent but relatively ordinary but OK.

Draft at Old St. Francis: Pours a reddish orange color, a bit cludy with a moderate off-white head. Good lacing. Nose is light of bitters, both citrus and pine. Some maltiness. The taste is on the mild side with citrus, hops, and a little maltiness. Goes down soft and wet with a lingering bitters finish.
