I had this beer on-tap in a pint glass at the brewery.
Appearance: amber-orange hue with no haze and a thin finger of frothy ivory foam. Not bad.
Smell: sweet and floral hop aroma. Clean and enjoyable.
Taste: slightly grainy malt with more of those floral hops. Overall effect is kind of soapy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: this is a pretty standard floral/soapy pale; not bad, if not earth-shattering.

Served on-tap
A — Pours a deep and dark amber hue, there is great clarity here. Head color is light pale carmel and puffy, though it fades and leaves behind nice lacing.
S — Smells of caramel sweet malts and hops, nice piney and bitter hops.
T — Tastes much like the nose there is a nice balance of lightly piney hop tones with a caramel malt sweetness as well.
M — Medium bodied and easy drinking, carbonation is spot on.
O — Nice overall and a pleasant surprise, Black Raven with another nice brew.

It might be a better balanced beer than their IPA Trickster.
