Draft pour at Westover Beer Garden. Poured a really nice, hazy yellow-orange color with a long lasting white head. Aroma was huge citrus, pine, resin. Grapefruit bitterness, some light tropical fruits. This went down way too smooth for 11%. Really nice stuff.

Certainly tastes like the bigger version of Roadie, which I just had, thought apparently Roadie is the dialed back version of this and Big Cat. I'm not sure I prefer this to Roadie--the extra booze and intensity goes slighlty off rails compared to Roadie's balance. Pours hazy yellow with some persistant soap bubbles. Grapefruit peel, some fresh pineapple. Caramel and booze come into this. finish is mostly tang with some sweetness. Tap at brewery.
