On draught at Ale Arsenal. Overt citrus. Pours orange and clear with a full white head. Flavor is more balanced to the bitterness, with a moderately high bittering. Citrus and juiciness shine through.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar. Notes of coffee, honey, smoke and dry dark chocolate in aroma. Dry taste with a long aftertaste with notes of syrup, alcoholic chocolate bon bons and lots of vanilla. Maybe a bit too sweet. Soft mouthfeel.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is herb/fruit. Med body. Flavor is strong and mixed - fruit/citrus/pine and more. Very heavy on hop, but not at all harsh. Finishes smooth and decently bitter. Really, really nice.
