3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Catskeller, served in a Unibroue tulip. This was a pretty normal looking brew, but that glass makes everything look better. Clear gold with an inch thick eggshell white head and a lot of carbonation visible initially. Aroma of hops, straw, nectar, citrus, and grass. Flavor of straw, grassy hops, yeast, and orange (but a dry, stale orange). Light-medium bodied, with medium carbonation and a super quick and dry finish, almost like it’s being sucked off the palate. A weird dry flash off the tongue. I’m not entirely sure what to make of this, but interesting and easily sessionable.

Orange pour white tiny white head. Looks like this has alot of "floaties" in it. Bready up front light bitter on back....eh not bad i guess.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours haze golden yellow with a thin off-white head. Aroma is primarily of citrusy hops. More of that in the flavor, plus some bisquity malt. Piney hops come out in the finish. The beer is somewhat creamy, almost buttery on the tongue. A very tasty, nicely balanced beer.

(Sample Date: 9/19/2009 Source:Other) Pint at Caliente. Light grassy earthy hops in aroma. Clear orange amber with small white head. Citrusy grassy hop flavor over moderate caramel maltiness. Medium finish with moderate bitterness.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
All right! Here is a cause for celebration - a beer from one of my fave brewers that I have not seen before. Very fine aroma - rich and sweet with hop scents. Nice label, sheet lace on the glass. The flavor is unusually and enjoyably sweet for a bitter, but the herby, clean hops still have their say. Another high ranking release from Avery.
