Bottle. Pours bronze/amber with thick, frothy white head. Aroma of minimal citrus fruit hops. Flavor is more malty than anything else. Boring.

This really smells nice; citrusy hops. Looks okay. A very effervescent flavor, tingly and dry. Pretty good. Certainly sessionable.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Jabic (179) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - APR 17, 2012
Ar: Lemon, orange, and pine - zesty and resinous.
Ap: Clear gold-amber - large off-white head with good retention and a nice thick curtain of lacing.
T: Mild orange - some peach, sulfur, and a touch of lemon - very light cracker malt - a bit soapy - bitterness is medium and leafy.
P: Medium-light body with creamy medium carbonation - finish is medium dry.
O: This beer promised a lot in the nose, but the flavor was just subdued - perhaps this bottle was not all that fresh.

12 oz. bottle from jbrana- thanks again, Justin! Pours a clear golden color with a finger of eggshell white head that proves to be resilient and laces the glass. Lots of rapidly ascending carbonation bubbles, too. Aroma of biscuity malts, grassy hops, and some citrus. Flavor of grassy hops, citrus peel, pale and biscuity malts, and a hint of soapy bitterness. Light-bodied, with a crisp, malty mouthfeel and medium-high carbonation. Good APA.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 nearbeer (2654) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 3, 2012
12 oz. Clear gold with a lasting quarter inch of foam. Bright nose of lemon, and resin with a touch of caramel. Flavor is the same with a bigger lemon taste, plus some resin and grapefruit. Light body is too fizzy, but well balanced.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Boutip (3455) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - APR 2, 2012
Bottle: Poured a light orange color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of medium citrus hops with light dry caramel malt notes. Taste is a mix between some light citrus notes with medium level of bitterness originating from the hops with some dry caramel malt presence can also be felt. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Well brewed with nice level of hops presence and not too much malt to distract from the hops.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 peteinSD (627) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 28, 2012
Bottle from Sean - thanks! Clear golden with some orange on the pour and a frothy white head. Aroma is light and even hop bitterness with a touch of pine and a lightly sweet malt backbone. Taste is light hop bitterness up front intermixed with pine and a somewhat sweet malt backbone. Mouthfeel is clean and appropriate for the style. Okay beer but lacks the hop pungency on the nose and the clean, dry body to compete with my favorites in the style.
