Interesting beer. I like heffies, and this one is pretty good. It actually has a barky, strong citrus flavor. The aftertaste lingers quite long. Nice to have with appetizers. The color looks like some peed after taking lots of vitamin supplements, and the rich froth can be, well, kinda gross looking, but if you can get over that, power to you, lumpdink. Had it with an orange peel, but not sure that was a good idea given that the orange flavor is already quite persistent in the brew.

I also bought the bottle and can say that pulled pint is better, due to the richer head and the flavor the smells bring to this beer. Problem will be finding a place where you can get a pulled pint from this beer, as I imagine it probably is difficult to find. But if your interested in trying something really, really different, this is worth it... especially on tap.
