Sampled from the tap at EBF. Poured a hazy amber with a slight purple hue with a gray head that started and remained at the edges. Aroma was full of a really nice tart raspberry note that grew in tartness throughout. Flavor was full of raspberries as well that grew in sourness and not much else. A bit one note but solid.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear yellow with a white head that lasted throughout the beer and laced nicely. Aroma had a pretty strong biscuit note with backing notes of pine and grass. Flavor began with strong grapefruit and was joined by pine with a hint of grapefruit. A bit too much biscuit for me.

On tap at Deep Ellum, Boston, Mass last October. An amber coloured pour with a smallish white head on top. Slight pumpkin aroma. Tastes malty, slight pumpkin, thin and lacking complexity. Barman recommended this but I was rather disappointed with it to be honest.

On tap @ Sunset Grill and Tap. Golden yellow in color nice amount of carbonation that produced small ring of head. Aroma is of grapes (reminds me of grape bubblegum with a sugary aroma). My friend said a grape Kool Aid packet. The grape sugar is up front in the taste. But it fades into the floral saffron spice for a finish. Reminds me of Dogfish Head Midas Touch. Very nice, smooth flowing beer that can easily be drank. If you find this on tap, get it!

Draft at Cambridge Commons. Bright pale yellow, thick white head. Aroma of grass, lemon, pepper. Taste is shockingly bitter.
