Tap - not much head, clear light copper color, fairly balanced with earthy hops and fair malt, smooth dry finish ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft to taster at Dutch’s. Looks good for a session APA; a transparent golden-orange with thin off-white lacing. Smells solid; nice and (bitterly) hoppy. Tastes like it smells with a solid mouthfeel. A good low-abv beer.

On tap. Labeled "3point5". Clear golden orange color. Thin off-white head, good lace. Nice grassy hop nose. Light body. Good smooth, kind of crisp carbonation. More dry finish. Satisfying moderate bitter taste. Satisfying hoppy session ale. 3point5 earns its 3.5. The industry needs more beers like this.

12 oz draft at the Avery tap room in Bolder, Colorado. The pour is golden copper, mostly clear with a white head. The aroma is fresh floral hops matched with a crackery light malt grain. The taste is the balance of fresh floral hops and cracker malt. The palate is light bodied, soft carbonation, and a dry mineral aftertaste. Nice stuff, had two pints of this on a beautiful spring afternoon, on the Avery patio.

Fall ’12: Clean gold, light bodied. Simple flavors, crisp kiss of hops though not substantial. Thirst Quenching. 3.2

Draft. Crystal clear amber body, small white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange, some grapefruit, light bread. Taste is moderately sweet, orange, some grapefruit, light straw/grass. Light-medium body, light resin. Body holds up quite nicely given the ABV, very nice session beer.

(Draught) Pours a clear copper body with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, pine, biscuit, and grass. Flavor of grass, grain, citrus, pine, earth, and caramel with a dry finish.

Tap. Pours clear gold with average, fizzy white head; good retention and spare lacing. Aroma is biscuit and cereal malts, grassy and floral hops, lemon, and light spice notes. Flavor is a good balance of bready malts and grassy hops with some floral notes, light fruit esters, and faint herbs; dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

draft. hazed pale gold with a white head. straight shot American hop nose (citrus, grass, shallots, cheese rind, etc) with mild yeast presence giving the hop medley a bit of a blur, which is good. lean body but still has the typical Avery coarseness / huskiness to the malt. zippy, zesty American hop finish, high hop acids, medium-high bitterness, mostly dry. decent.

Brewed at Adnams for UK distribution it is a pale with a good aroma and decent sized head. Crisp with a medium bitterness.
