4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden-brown with gorgeous lacing. Smells like a big bag of pellets - rich, deep, pithy hop. Smooth body and moderately bitter. Good balance with light caramel and fresh woody hop. Growler me up.

[September 4, 2010]
Pint at the brewpub. Pours copper with a small head. Smells like a pretty standard American pale. It’s not real hoppy but there is some tame citrus with easy malts. Good balance with a grainy, tart finish. Just okay.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours pale gold with white head. The aroma is a bit weak, but has lemon, some grain, a bit of peach and tangerine. The flavor is grain, a touch of fruitiness. There’s an herbal hop note in there with some lemon and lip balm notes in the finish as well as a faint bitterness. Somewhat bland for what it is, but ok.

On tap at Aiken brewing. A clear golden/amber pour with lacing. Scent is earthy and hoppy. Easy light bitter drinker.

Honey colored with good lacing. Aromas of grass & grapefruit Hoppy yet creamy on palate. A little "muddled" but in a good way--meaning it’s not "too" anything, just enjoyable with a good overall flavor profile.

on tap-pours a white head and amber color. Aroma is lime zest. Taste is lime zest, some resin hops-centennial/cascade, secondary medium malt-caramel. Easy, nice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bright medium gold, nice thick white head and lacing. Nice floral, piney hop aroma and some juicy orange too. Finishes really nice and dry. Soft nice carbonation. Best one here by a mile. Lingering herbal and pine bitterness. Citrus peel and dandelion greens. Very good.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Unmistakeable nose of piney citrus hops, with a hint of caramel malt, slightly biscuity with lots of resiny bitterness from the hops, not overpowering, pretty well balanced and crisp. Decent enough
