cloudy orange, wispy off white head, bits of drippy lace,
sweet crystal malt aroma with citrus and floral hops,
sweet crystal and caramel malt flavor, lots of hop flavor, good blend of floral and citrus hops, lasting bitter finish, bitterness eventually catches up and dries it out, <br />

harrisoni (5605), Ashford, Kent, England Oct 24, 2006 On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Hazy copper with thin off white head. Lovely hop aroma, some earthiness, good fruit. Not sure what the fruit is, almost tropical and then I guess cascade style earthy hop finish. Nice DA (2641), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Sep 15, 2004 I was really expecting this thing to be so packed with hops that it could give a grown man memory lapses, but instead it turned out to be a smooth pale ale with a crisp clean hop addition. No doubt the hops were very fresh and citrusy, but the brew it was in was very plain, although good for a hot day, nothing too special.
