Sample at the tap room. Clear golden color with a medium white head that evaporates gradually to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, grassy hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at the tap room. The beer is a clear orange color with a medium bone white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit, malt, and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of passionfruit, biscuit malt and grassy hops. The finish is fruity with a mildly bitter hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at April Brews Day, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is huge on the grapefruit, with loads of citric. Flavour is like pure grapefruit juice infused with bitter hops. Unsophisticated, but it's pleasant to drink. Okay.

Draught at Beveridge Place Pub
Mahogany color, clean. It has a very good malt and caramel depth, moderately sweet, with nice fruity esters, and comforting alcohol warmth.
Very good.

Draught at Brouwer’s Café, Seattle
Red amber color, hazy, no head. A lot of candied orange peel in the aroma, bergamot. It’s sweet and undercarbonated; a lot of candied orange also in the flavor, and then the expected bitterness. And some marzipan.
It’s not a bad beer, but it’s really weird.

2012 version on tap at BPP. Grape soda aroma, weird. Light astringent grape and light age on flavor. Interestingly weird beer.

On tap at Beveridge Place Pub, pours a deep dark amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out notes of caramel, some light whiskey presence and bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with caramel, light smoke and bready malt. Well-balanced and integrated. Everything works really well together. Very nice.

On cask at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a small white head. Nose is strange, with floral sugar candy, perfume and medicinal notes. Flavour is an absolutely disgusting trainwreck - nail polish, medicinal notes, and perfume. Seriously fucked up. Drain pour.

Cask pour at the Brouwers hop mob. Reddish copper pour with no head. Lemony, sugary juicy aroma. Herbal flavor, with lemon. Maybe honey. Tastes like a tea. This might be best served hot. Very cool nose and finish here. Very much unique. Interesting.
