Keg. Hazy golden ale with beautiful hoppy nose. So fruity from the Cascade hops - lemon and lime and grapefruit. Bitterness is powerful and sharp but not too much. Dry finish. Great beer!!

Its been a while... pours a nice medium gold with a big, creamy white head that hangs around and on the glass. On the nose, picking up citrus (orange and lemon) and some pine over top of what smells like a small malt backbone. Medium-light body, somewhat thin in the finish, which is hop bitter and dry. I’m getting the pine hope up front followed by sweet caramel and bready malts. The citrus hops somehow tried to hide. Plenty of bitterness and a dry finish.

Poured from a bottle. Good head with lots of lacing. Slightly citrus in the nose which transfers to a orangy flavour. Finish is strong with bitter tones that has a carry-over of the citrus - grapefuit tones here in the finish.
Very good well crafted beer.

From a bottle. Grabbed this out of my full beer fridge thinking "I haven’t had one of these in awhile" and was pleasantly surprised how great this hoppy ale is. Very drinkable beer!

Freshness is what dry hopped beers depends on, this dates best before april 2012 whatever that says about when it´s manufactured.
Bottle. Golden orange with withe foam. Not that clean hop flavor on this one as I remember it to be. Some grape, some soapy flavor. I remember this as more bitter and flavorful, with a clean crisp hop flavor. Taste is "dirty".

Tap at Beer, Bourbon ad BBQ Festival in NYC. Pours semi-clear amber with a small, off-white head. Aroma is malty with some floral, earthy bitters. Flavor is sweet with caramel malts and balanced by earthy hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes sweet with some lingering hops. Nice.
