The beer looks nice enough in the tall glass with clear golden color and a decent head. Light body and a sharp mouthfeel. A whiff of citrus for aroma.

Brewer says this has 17 IBUs, which is a surprise because of how bitter it tastes to me. Maybe there's just no other actual flavor. The taste seems to be just a lemony bitterness. Rather puckery on the lips. The first sip wasn't very promising, but it seems to get better as you sip. Just more bitter as well, which will be a plus for many. I'm always glad to see more beers with the ABV down towards 4, but this ks not going to win a repeat visit from me.

From the 22 oz bottle bought at Liticker's Liquor & Deli in Ocean Beach. No price gouging, this one was $4.30.
