On draft at Mellow Mushroom in Lexington with BEERchitect. Very good value at about $2.00 a pint!
Fairly standard looking in terms of the color, but the head & lacing was superb. The lacing was both extensive and sticky. Aroma was overwhelmingly that of orange zest. Delicious to look and to smell. I’d surprised if these attributes could be reproduced quite so well in the bottle.
In terms of taste it drank like a quality American micro IPA. Nothing really special, but solid, realiable everyday drinking and at these prices it would be! Mild hop profile (at least for the American version of an IPA) but not remotely astringent. Held together with good malt balance, and you have just about all you can ask for in the genre. Tasty with a good mouthfeel.
