Very underrated in my opinion. Hazy light peach body has a robust white head that lays down imptessive lacing. Lots of fruity peach esters in the aroma,accented by grapefruit and faint florals. Taste is nicely balanced with floral bittering hops, Nehi peach soda fruitiness, and subtle maltiness. Finishes with a dry hop bitterness. Maybe not in the league with Two Hearted or Hopslam, but a solid effort that is very sessionable.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours a hazy glowing orange with a big medium white froth on top. Aroma of toasted grains and honey, could swear there is some wheat in there, some oranges and a bit chalky. Very straight forward, boring. Light sweet caramel flavor drowned out by big salty hop bitterness. Full flavored with zero character.

Aug 15, 2008 Gold color, very hazy. Nicely balanced beer with sweet malts and citrus hops. Smooth finish. Certainly not the best pale ale out there, but it’s good, very drinkable.

Aug 14, 2008 Aroma and flavors identical, honey, hops, citrus and malt. Appearance is nice for the style, hazy but clear (still can see through but pretty difficult). Palate is smooth, with a very small bitterness. A very good representation of the style and another great one from Bell’s.
