Sampled from the tap at the North Park location. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma combines grass and citrus rind with some grain notes backing. Flavor has a good amount of citrus with a bite of rind and a light grain backbone.

Poured up on tap at 1702 where it exhibits a slightly hop hazed copper body that supports a thin bright white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up grapefruit and tangelo and then a bit of pine hops and faint earthy grassiness. The taste delivers fresh crisp hops that create a pleasing bitter hoppy harmony. I get a blend of pine, tangelo peel, grapefruit and then a floral sort of earthy grassiness that has a faint cucumber quality to it. In the background there’s a decent malty base that reminds you it’s there every so often. Solid brew.
