On tap at the brewpub. Pours a near clear gold with an orange hue and a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of citrus that is slightly bitter with a grain backbone. Flavor is similar with citrus upfront with some tropical fruit and a bit of grain underlying.

Draft at Rock Bottom, Yorktown. This batch was tapped just three days before, and it’s pretty fresh. Orange unfiltered body, standard stiff pale ale head. Delerious northwestern hop smell. A big fresh hop load right at the front of the taste. Has a "cat" quality similar to a fresh bottle of Dreadnaught. Some heady, bready malts come through, too. Going further down, I get notes of apricots, pine resin, pineapple, and for some reason, I’m reminded of spinach. Brutal hop aftertaste for us hop-heads.Taster from cask, 6/5/07: Pulled from the engine, its light for a pale ale (there’s a dichotomy). Hazy golden color, again a thin but stubbord white head. Warmed with low carbonation, the beer plays up the citrus charater of its hops without adding to the bitterness.
