11 ounces of a 22oz bottle, poured at home. Bottle purchased from Red Apron in the Mosaic District. Poured a golden yellow color with an off-white head. Aroma was floral character, grapefruit citrus. Flavor was light malt, caramel notes, lots of juicy hop character. Pretty tasty, smooth, and a touch boozy, but not heat thankfully.
