BREWMUSKCLES (1685) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 14, 2011
somewhat busy yet refined and understated tastes that mingle well and serve to refresh and stimulate the palate. demonstrative character indeed to this light and sunny looking brew that is quenching and a must try. could become a classic it is so pleasant to enjoy. superior spice, fruit, body and mouthfeel. versatile, inspiring. And presented perfectly from the taps at the Rattle and Hum New York City.

JoeMcPhee (6963) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 22, 2011
Tap at Dive Bar. Hazy golden pour with a thin white head. The nose is really fruity. Lots of bananaish esters with a soft apricot and a kiss of light spice as well. Bubble gum, spice and an assertive noble hop bitterness. A touch of orange peel, clove and some herbal spiciness. A bit fruity and chewy. It’s slightly solvent, bit it’s still pretty nice. Dry finish.
