Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a deep copper amber body with a tall and thick off white head topping it off.
Smell: There are zesty citrusy hop jumping out at me along with bready whole grain malt notes in the background.
Taste / Palate: The flavor matches the aroma and serves it on an easy drinking medium body with balanced carbonation and a slow mellow bitter finish.

Best before 3/31/14.
Pours a clear dark reddish-orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, and candied citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a solid citrus forward hop presence all around.
