3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle... Hazy amber ale with orange highlights and a fizzy, off-white head. Terrific retention. Malty & floral aroma with notes of biscuit, black tea, brown sugar, clover honey and sugar cookie. Sweet & malty flavor up front with touches of citrus fruit, pine, toffee and lemon. Adequate bitterness on the backside with notes of citrus rind, evergreen and zest of lemon. Medium-bodied and creamy with pillow-soft carbonation. Lengthy, lightly bitter, grassy finish.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle. The ale surged out. Amber color with a two finger off-white head. Wonderful floral hop aroma - I’m in England. Medium body with fine carbonation. Flavor is more caramel malt than hop, but there is nearly enough bitter in the finish to remedy that. It’s really good, and it might fit ESB or Strong Ale across the pond.

Bottle 12oz. Amber hue with a tan head that dissipates slowly. Medium aroma of citrus and bread. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium flavor that is very refreshing with a tart finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nicely hopped grapefruit coloured and mildly cascade aroma. Easy drink with lemon and sugar flavour moderately hopped and well malted. Medium mouthfeel, a bit watery. Bit of spice. Pleasant but average offering. Thanks to the single offerings at Whole Earth.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A creamy, sustained head rests atop a clear amber body. Spotty lacing. The aroma is malty, balanced with fruity and floral scents. The flavor is of sweet malt, orchard fruits, and a solid floral/herbal bitterness.Good sessionable ale.
