Served on draft at the tap room on 4/7/11. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a thin creamy brown head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of big citrus hops with an almost chemical note. The taste is muddled citrus hops, faintly malty notes and a bitter finish. Medium bodied. I had this later the same day at Amos Howards and it was much better flavor and better balanced. The score reflects both beers.
