This pours a pleasing golden color with light foam. Subtle hints of citrus (Orange, grapefruit pith) on the aroma. Pleasing citrusy flavor with a great drying finish.

Brewer says this one is made with Pilsner Malt and New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. Color is an orangey amber with a modest foam. Lightly carbonated overall. Quite sharp and hot with hops and alcohol.

Juicy peach flavor is the best feature. Woody finish. Pleasantly fruity with melon and something grapey. Hot and intense brew but an interesting sipper. On tap at the brewery restaurant on Haight St.
