Alpha10 (102) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 17, 2013
2013/04/17 - Pours a translucent, bright golden color with a thick, frothy, off white head that dissipates quickly, but laced nicely. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus and floral hops. Taste is sweet citrus up front with a malty and pine notes and a tart bitter hop finish that lingers. Mouthfeel is medium, with smooth carbonation and a drying finish that lingers. Nice balance between sweet and bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

355ml bottle. Filmy golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Nice hoppy aroma, grapefruit and citrus notes, caramel malty background. Taste is bitter hoppy, piney, herbal, slightly fruity, minimally biting; lasting bitter hoppy finish.

Poured from a 22 oz bomber into a hotel room glass. Clear orange yellow with a good head and decent lacing. Smells of lemongrass and sweet malts. Taste is more malt forward with nice citrus undertones. Decent carbonation with a dry finish.

Rando7 (607) - Iowa, USA - APR 14, 2013
Bottle pours clear light orange with brief white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops, slight resin. Taste sweet malts and citrus. Finish slight resiny hops. Really well balanced, not a hop bomb at all although I’m not sure of the age on this bottle. Very refreshing and drinkable.
