I had this one on tap at the Steelhead in Pittsburgh.
It was served in a standard pint glass and the beer orange/bronze with some sticky off-white lacing.
Nose of citrus, pine and grains.
The beer leads with a nice pine bite. There are some semi-sweet malts, a bit of cracker and then something metallic and bitter in the finish. They literally just changed the keg, so it's not old and it is not that dirty line taste.
The mouth is decent with some prickly carbonation to offset the nice tongue coating quality of the beer.
I'm still baffled by the metallic notes of this beer. I would try this again at some point in the future to see if it just a one off coincidence with this particular pint.

32 oz growler poured into a pub-style pint glass.
Appearance
Golden amber with 1 finger of off-white head. Good clarity with light carbonation.
Nose
Grapefruit, pine, caramel, peach, and papaya.
Taste
Earthy, dank greenery and bright florals. Pink grapefruit, dried pine, and peach. Slight tropical notes of papaya and mango. Light caramel and biscuit backbone.
Mouthfeel
Medium bodied, crisp, semi-dry, and moderately bitter.
Overall
Columbus and Centennial hops dominate the flavor profile, but many other flavors are going on beneath that. Crisp and quaffable.
