On tap at O'Brien's. The beer is transparent light yellow with a small creamy white head and a little lacing. The aroma is of floral hops with fresh cut grapefruit and orange with a hint of rind and pith. There's a subtle grainy malt quality. As the beer warms I detect a little apricot. Nice hop aroma. The flavor is of orange and grapefruit with a moderate level of bitterness and that same grainy malt quality I noticed in the aroma. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering bitter edge that evenually fades, ushering in a resurfacing of citrus hop flavor, though this time it's in the manifestation of an amalgamation of fresh nectarine and orange pith. Overall, a great hoppy session beer from the always excellent triple rock.

They call this one a California style bitter on the chalk board. It's essentially a low alcohol IPA or an over-hopped APA. This was on cask at the 2010 Firkin Fest, dry hopped with centennial and summit.

A blond body with a light haze and a huge fluffy white cap. Beautiful. Great head retention and lace, this is exactly how a cask ale should look.

Huge floral hop aroma, the centennial leaves a mark. There's a juicy tropical fruit sweetness from the summit hops at a slightly lower level; they packed a ton of hop aroma into this low ABV beer. Tangerine, pineapple, light breadiness in the background. This is great.

Dry palate, bready with a ton of hop flavor and light bitterness. Pineapple, tangerine, orange peel. Very floral. Light bodied, crisp and dry with a bitter kick. A touch thin, but I really can't complain, it's an awesome beer.
