Keg in Houston. It pours hazy golden without a medium white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, bready malts, grapefruit, pithy lemon and some pineapple. The taste is along the same lines.... bitter, grapefruit, orange, lemon, pine needles, white bread, light peppery spice and a touch of candy. Finish is dry. Light - medium body and average carbonation. Drinks pretty easy. OK, but no game-changer.

Keg at Mongoose vs Cobra. It pours cloudy rich orange with a decent white head. The aroma is earthy, toasted grain, cereal, hay, slightly medicinal and funk. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, quite fruity, lemon peel, minerals, sherbet, granny smith apple, good mouth - pucker, sour kumquat and orange marmalade with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. The nose is fairly tame, but it tastes rather nice.
