Cloudy gold with disappearing head. Big nose of bananas and grapefruit. Flavors very subdued, though, medium-bodied, with dry hop finish. Peculiar combination of strong nose and weak flavor.

Bottle. Thick head, very clean citrus hops nose and flavor. Fills the mouth with those lovely citrusy sweet Cascade hops goodness, though mild. Really refreshing. I don’t know why I don’t buy more of this stuff.

Heavy head that lasts awhile. Rather active carbonation but dead and dull taste that was too malty/yeasty. sour grass, fermented grain, olive oil. dry finish. reminded me of the Steam beer, which I’m no fan of.

Bottle. Golden light colour. Good white head. Aroma of hops and malts with a touch of citrus. Great balanced. Sweet beer with a sophisticated grapefruit bitterness in the after taste.

This was my 20th beer at beerfest. All I can taste is Beligan yeast. I am drunk and don’t know it.

medium off white head, light copper colour. citrus and pine in the nose. flavour is malty with plenty of hops, very enjoyable. Easy to drink but still very interesting, a great pale ale.
