Arlington Virginia location. Golden orange color, small wispy head. Aroma is citrus, hops. A bit bready, yeasty notes. Served in a hard plastic cup. Strange.

On tap at Rock Bottom Seattle location. Pours out a cloudy amber topped with a cream head. Aroma was of citrus grapefruit and a nice malt. Taste was lots of grapefruit peel along with a nice floral ring. I think this may have been the best one. I had from the Rock.

RB Seattle, July seasonal
Very pale gold. Big but fake-looking head (too level!) Smells nice - simcoe, strawberries, cascade, citrus. Flavour...moderate bitterness, more floral citrusy hops. Clean, slightly estery finish.

Charlotte NC Stingin Brits IPA-on tap-pours an offwhire head that laces with copper color. Aroma is faint malt, hops. Taste upfront is caramel malt, midtaste the hops joins in. Less hops than expected.

Draft at Chicago Lovely hazy color, perhaps a little wheat, or just unfiltered? Nice balance of hops in both bittering and finish, with some of the lesser-used American varieties besides Cascade and Centennial. Pretty good for an American Beer Month celebration.
