There’s a little beige head. Medium body with very mild carbonation. Pleasant hit of hop. Quite a bit of citrus/resin hoppiness. It’s clean. It just isn’t uberhoppy [sorry bout that]. Good beer though. coyotehunter (559), , Michigan, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 24, 2009 Bottle. Clear tan orange, medium off-white head. Nose has bread, berry, citrus. Soft mouthfeel, fairly bitter, taste is dominated by citrusy hops. Not as refreshing as I’m used to in a pale, a combination of the softness and the (to my taste) overdone citrusiness. Improves with quaffing vs sipping, though.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2009 Aroma of bread and biscuits, some floral and pine hops too. The pour is bright golden with a thin head and nice lacing. Nice dry bready flavors with a touch of caramel sweetness and a crisp pine/floral hop profile. Some bitterness comes in and lingers for a while. I found this really nice. Very sessionable, I could drink this a lot. tiggmtl (4312), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Bready malts , butterscotch, grapefruit and notes of pine in the nose. Opaque golden tan body is topped by a generous and lasting foamy white head that laces. Flavour leans heavily towards the hops - grapefruit and pine are the main notes. Bitterness is quite pronounced and somewhat sharp with underlying bread-like malts notable only in the aftertaste. Medium body is quite dry and carbonation is a bit over the top feeling sharp on the tongue and distracting from overall enjoyment. Snifter. Cellar temperature. Bottle (Bottleworks, Aug-08).

Piny, spicily hopped sharp nose. Carbonic prickly sharp mouthfeel . Finished with a good amount of citrus and floral hops over the tongue. Quite refreshing but unbalanced.
