Draft at Sockeye Alehouse. Clear, bright golden pour, one finger white frothy head. Nice light hoppy aroma, notes of tangerine. Taste was more of the citrusy Hops, coupled with some solid ready malts, and more tangerine on the finish. Really delicious.

Draft at Hops & Bottles. Cloudy, dark golden, one finger foamy head, lacing all the way down. Light piney, earthy aroma. Soft caramel malts detectable in the taste, then a piney, resinous flavor which leaves some bitterness on the palate.

Gnarly blend of flavors, like a mapley bourbon funky dessert cake but lightish bodied? Baltic porter blended in goes far.
