3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours an orangey gold with a medium off-white head and not much lacing. Aroma is fairly sweet with some mild but nice hops -- piney, citrusy, floral. Also something a little peppery. Hops are up front on the flavor and pleasantly bitter in the finish. Medium palate. Nice and crisp; very drinkable.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Appearance: Pours a bright clear amber with a small film of head.
Aroma: Very faint husky malt and a bit of a sourish twang.
Taste: A floral/herbal hop presence and more husky grain notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied medium carbonation.
Overall: A real boring beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle.
A - Hazy orange and copper. White to off-white head, pretty large and fluffy, but not great retention.
S - Grassy and citrus hop scent. Light caramel malt and honey underneath those hop scents.
T - Light and pale malt base that holds up well with the grassy, citrus and floral hop flavors that are upfront. Unfortunately it is a little light and the flavors don’t last long on the tongue.
M - Fairly light bodied (may lean toward medium bodied though) with a healthy amount of carbonation.
D - Really easy to drink as while the hops are present, they aren’t overpowering. The flavor isn’t overpowering so this might be one served better by drinking a couple to let the flavor build.
Notes: I liked this beer, but the flavors are a little light and don’t stick around long enough. That said, the flavors are good and tasty, I just want a little more.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap at local bar. Slightly cloudy pale yellow with no head. Weak citrus and hop aroma. Watery taste of citrus and malts with mildly zesty finish. palate - did it have one?
My wife liked it and finished it after I had a few swallows.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear, light woody gold with a tapioca head. Cereal-sweet aroma. Tangy, golden raisin and figs, pepper, slightly herbal. Very interesting. Not overly hoppy. Woody, figgy finish. Tap, Flying Saucer, Kansas City.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at boulevard brewpub in K.C. Airport. Lots of pine resin but easy drinking. Not fabulous, but not terrible.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured from bottle. Faint nose with citrus -- not much else. Lovely gold-brown color with a pronounced, moussy head and very little lace. Taste is clean and crisp with citrus (lime?) notes pronounced, followed by slight malt toastiness and hops bitterness on the finish. Carbonation is light. All in all, a damned good session beer.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a dark golden orange/apricot color and is pretty much opaque with golden orange hues when held to a light source. Two finger frothy, soapy white head that has excellent retention, only slowly fading to a lasting cap that leaves small chunks of soapy lacing in it’s wake.
Slightly earthy aroma with subtle citrus and pine hop notes. There’s also a bit of crisp light fruit in the nose along with a sligt creamy presence and malt backbone. Subtle hints of grass and straw.
Fuller bodied than expected with a crisp and dry earthy hop presence up front that lingers throughout into a sweet dry finish. Very hop forward for a pale ale with a nice malt bcbone providing some nice balance. Hints of light golden fruit, mostly apple, as well as some biscuit, grass and straw. Pretty complex and very quaffable. I would love to drink more of this in the warmer months. Another solid offering from a very underrated brewery.
