Bottle from liquor express. Pours light brown with two fingers of white foam. Aroma smells a bit of corn. Taste is fairly bland with a slight hint of malt on the tongue. I was hoping for some hoppiness but it wasn’t there.

Sampled at GABF 2011. Yellowish-orange pour. Light hoppy aroma with a lot of caramel malt. Flavor is much the same and treads a thin line between a pale ale and an amber ale. Just ok.

Golden with dense white head. Sweet malty nose and a hint of citrus. Decent hop bite, dry, malt is light in flavor and lacking in body. Decent looking, good hope flavor but lacks malt profile. On tap at Zazu in Auburn, AL.

Fresh bottle thanks to Jason & Trip, Thanks! Golden pour with a nice white head. Neat carbonation. A bit of bread and caramel in the otherwise floral and citrus noted aroma. Soft hops right there at the beginning of the taste. Grains moving to a pillow, yes a pillow, of spicy, pine hops. Only at the end does the bitter set in with a final lingering hoppy finish. Soft round mouthfeel with a light to medium body. This is truly the best bottle of this if had. Who says freshness makes no difference...
