the color of summer

Domus, based in Toledo, has been getting ever easier to find.  They have a good variety of products, and I've hardly tried any.  Let's start with a light IPA.  This variety is Aurea, and the name would appear to be fitting.  You get hit with the citrusy sweet scent right after opening the bottle.  I found the beer very foamy when poured, even after some time sitting on the table while the first glass was consumed.  It has a light lemonade yellow color and a bitter taste, as befitting an ale.  I'd say it's pithy; reminiscent of the white of citrus fruit rather than the fruit itself. The squeamish should be warned that there is some sediment in the bottle, which might drip onto the head at the end if you're not careful.  The less-than-careful will end up with little brown drips on the white foam.  The artistic might try to make pictures with it.
It's on a napkin because I thought the foam would spill out to explore, octopus-like.
Didn't, but still.
