Reviewed from notes. Had on-tap at the brewery. Served in a nonic pint glass.

A: Hazy burnished gold, with fairly low visible carbonation and a half-finger of white head.

S: Not a big aroma here. Grapefruit-y citrus, toasted biscuit malts. Light vegetal hoppiness as well.

T: Bitter grapefruit pith, tinny alpha bitterness. A thin malt presence that adds almost no sweetness - like a quick-dissolving biscuit, if that were a thing. A light hop bitterness fades quickly after the swallow.

M: Light body. It's flatter than it should be, and a modest (as-listed) ABV is more noticeable than I would expect.

O: This really wasn't very good, and I feel like it needs to be reformulated. The malt bill needs revamped, and the hop profile is subpar. Even more dry-hopping with the same hop profile would have helped. I hope this was perhaps a bad batch, and that it was only a poor business decision made to serve it rather than dispose of it. There's no off-flavors or infection and wasn't completely undrinkable...that's what this has going for it.

Pale gold in color, poor head, fair lacing, medium collar. Aroma is dry citrus, slight earthy spice, honey. Taste is dry earth, slight cirrus hop, medium bready sweetness. Bitter finish. Medium body and carb.

Flavor: Nice citrus=toned hops. Has a moderately bitter lingering aftertaste.

Single finger head with excellent lacing on a clear copper orange body. Candy sugar, citrus hops and caramel malt aroma. Flavor of citrus, herbal, grass and citrus hop with a nice caramel malt base. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice dry hopped beer.
