Picked this up in a bottle from the brewery. Really great toasted malt aroma. Huge biscuit malt backbone - very toasty with lots of great, grainy components. Very light, lemony citrus notes with a slight grassy piece that is just present for a second before being swamped by the malt on the finish. Great floral hop component. Really great drink.

Pours clear straw blond with minimal head. Smell is malt, a bit of caramel. Taste is there, a bit of honey and spice. Good drinkability. Pretty good.

Sample at the brewpub. Hazy golden pour with a medium thin off-white head that burns away steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of hops and sweet malt. Light body with flavors of mild hops, citrus and grainy malt. The finish is short with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Fairly average all around.

No aroma. Looks fine. Smoothish in body and plain at first with a little bit of hops at the end. A decent beer, nothing great.

Some times I am a man of few words. This beer was pretty decent pale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Goldenrod color, clear with not much head. Aroma has floral hops, some chamomile, and a hint of mint. Palate is soft and sessionable. Flavors match aromas with chamomile, strictly floral hops, and malts that are well-developed but not competitive with the hops. Simple and easy-going nature, well done.

On tap at pub 12/09. Honey-sour pale. unremarkable, not hop forward and too malty. Sour nose and light body, not their best.
