Dark amber orange, off white cover. A bit of an ’off’ homebrew like character in the aroma, sweet, with a little floral hoppiness. Taste is again sweet, floral hops, light bitter, but that same sourish character.

Draft. Deep golden body with a white, frothy head. Grainy aroma with only a hint of floral hops. The flavor lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, moderate carbonation. Not a lot of aroma or flavor and what is there is just OK.

Draft at Brewpub. Pours amber with a somewhat retentive off white head. Aroma of ale esters and floral hops is extremely weak. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of pale malts and caramel countered by a very boring and weak hop profile. Thin finish with traces of acetaldehyde. Not a very good example of the style. Needs a little work.

Light amber in color, moderate "sudsy" head, slightly cloudy. Strong soapy aroma with not much hop character. Taste was identical to the aroma...strange soapiness and only a bitter flavor from the hops. Was said to be hopped with Centenial hops, but no citrusy/fruity character whatsoever.
