Had it from draft. Golden colour, a bit hazy. Nice white creamy head. Really hoppy and long finish. One of the better beers from Brooklyn Brewery.

On tap at flying saucer eleventeen party. Pours a hazy deep orange with a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of pine, resin and onion backed with sweet grains. Flavor begins with sweet grains and light pine with a growing onion finish.

This beer was nice it had some real good flavors of hops and malts but still very smooth

Bottle… First Annual Treasure Coast Beer Festival 2008… Hazy, light golden ale with a large, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Citrusy, peppery, perfumy hop aroma with a rumor of dry leather. Medium-bodied and caustic with modest carbonation. Mostly bitter, perfumy and fruity flavor. Crisp, dry finish.

On tap, Cole’s, Buffalo. Dark yellow, small white head. Neat strong grapefruit aroma - I don’t care for grapefruit, but this was awesome. Unfortunately, the taste shared the same fresh biting into a grapefruit taste, and that really turned me off. I like grapefruit characteristics in my hops as a compliment, but not when the entire beer tastes like it. Burning alcohol backs that up in what became not terrible enjoyable. Decent beer, just not for me.

Draft at Haymarket. Pours a mostly clear gold with a sticky white head that persists. Nose is hoppy, some light malts. Pretty non-descript with citrus and pine resin. On taste, it lacks the punch of a hops and bitterness one expects. Comes across as a pleasant American IPA, but just isn’t anything special. Some citrus and resin, some malt. Just kind of blah.

Interesting hop nose, some citrus notes, there’s something a little different though, can’t place it. Pours blonde with a thick white head. The flavor reminds me of a pale ale or even and english ale mixed with some belgian yeast flavors, hoppy, citrus notes with sweet malts and some spicy belgian characteristics. good.

Had on draft @ my first solo visit to the Sugar Land Saucer .. . Pours a cloudy gold pear .. light to medium foam, lacing is medium strength .. . caramel, sap, and sweet finished wood .. very malt forward .. abv well worked .. nothing i’d spring for again but tasty .. . . mace to face!

Clear golden orange pour with medium sized white head. Aroma of hops, caramel, floral and fruity. Taste of grapefruit, toffee, pine needles and a hoppy sweet finish. Full bodied and medium carbonation.

Draft. Pour is clear/golden orange with a good off-white head. Aroma of citrus/floral hops, walnut skins, caramel. Taste is citrus, pine, resin, walnut skins. Very bitter/astringent. Palate is oily, average carbonation, astringent finish. I expected a better effort from Brooklyn.
