On tap. Pours a deep orangey golden with a slight haze and an off-white head. Lightly tart nose, I actually believe I can pick uo a little citrus fruit, not lemon but rather tangerines, oranges or pink grape. Medium body, again very dry notes of citrus fruit, astringently bitter - almost quinine-like. But clean and rather refreshing. 270512

Tap at brewery. Coffee, chocolate, and sour lactic aroma. Black brown with a small creamy tan ring, nice lacing. Coffee, chocolate, and acidic flavor. Light medium body. Both flavor and body remind me more of a porter than stout, but still excellent.

Draft at brewpub. Nice blood orange malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet blood orange malt and moderately bitter orange peel hops flavor. Great blending and body. A kick ass beer - great fruit flavor without being too sweet.
