hopdog (4647), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 10, 2005 22 oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas and tastes of pine, citrus, and light caramel. Light oranges in the tastes as well. Lightly bitter. Some lacing left on the glass. hopscotch (4588), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Apr 6, 2008 Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent, small, swirling retention. Earthy, malty aroma. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Grainy, citrusy flavor. Grapefruit pith, toffee and earthy tannins. Finishes crisp, moderately bitter, and then dry. BückDich (4558), Boise, Idaho, USA Mar 23, 2006 Tap at brewery in Alpine, CA: Golden, nose of light fruity hops. The flavor is rich and sweet. A light balanced hop and malt tango. Decent. JorisPPattyn (4500), Antwerpen, Belgium Apr 23, 2008 Draught Orange beer with small white head. Flowery nose, hops abundant. Dry, straightforward hoppiness. No explosion but just a good punch. Tangering peel. Slightly burning MF, very slight tartness. A good, if inadventurous APA.
