3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange pour with frothy white head and lace. Perfumy hops, caramel malt, and light breadiness on the aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, perfumy start followed by a complex citrus bitter. Watery with good carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear amber color/ amber head. Nice pine sap, citrus, pale malt aromas. medium bodied. Hoppy pine, citrus flavors with solid caramel maltage--pretty good for a 3.2 brew
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
Copper pour, nice head and lace. Fruity, apple aroma. Very low carbonation, some piny hop, and a sweet apple fruitty finish. Some strawberry or watermelon, a hint of astringency in the finish. Mouthfeel is thin, and the lack of carb kills an otherwise decent brew.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Tap) Pours an orange color with a slight haze. Faint hoppy aroma. Taste is similar, but with some sour notes as well. Some grapefruit and pine. Slightly below average palate. One of their better beers.
