Draft pour at the brewery. Poured a clear dark amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was some biscuit notes, grain, floral character. Citrus. Not too bad at all but a little heavy tasting.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear, light amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet, some grapefruit notes, light spicy character. Flavor was similar, sweet malts, some light toasted notes. Not as much in the way of hops as I would have liked - but it was decent.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear ruby-amber color with a small white head. Aroma was light grain, earthy and floral hoppy notes. Flavor was about the same. Perhaps just a bit of a light leafy bitter grain character that just makes the whole thing just fine.
