On tap at the Sockeye brewpub pouring copper with off white head and some sheet lacing. The aroma is sweetness and citrus then moving into some nuttiness. Interesting aromatic combination. Enjoyable flavor with the same sweetness running into orange zest like citrus as noted in the nose. The citrus bitterness grows and seems to pick up some resiny pine by midway. Mild roasted malt join the hop resin to create a modestly dry finish.

On tap at Sockeye Boise. pours out a clear crisp amberish gold topped with a small off white cream head. Aroma was of a nice hop combo, floral, pine, and some citrus. Taste was plenty of grapefruit peel bitter hops along with a malt to help round it out.

On Tap: the brewer called this an english pale ale, I would tend to agree. Pours a nice golden color with a small head, aroma is sweet and bitter. Taste is sweet from malt, some bitterness, light citrus tones, and a bit of fruitiness. Not as intense as a esb. Very pleasant.

On Tap at the bew pub Light golden amber with small white head and traces of thin lacing. Mild sweet malts and faint citrusy hops in the aroma. Flavor was easyon the hops and mild fairly sweet malt profile. Strange feel, dry and a bit bitter.
