On tap at Broney’s for Brew Week in Athens. Light straw color and crystal clear. No head evident. Minimal aroma. A little sour, since it was a fresh keg for the festival, I think it may have been the wheat, or the honey listed on the tag.

22 oz. bottle. Clear orange, medium, dense, white head, marginal lace. Nice fresh hop aroma of pine and grapefruit over a bed of toffee and light stone fruit.. Medium body with pine resin on a dry palate. The flavor offers up some clover honey to start with a citrus peel bitterness that starts to come on mid palate and ushers in a long, bitter, thirst quenching finish. I liked this, a very respectable example of the style.

Dark yellow pour, smell is weak, acidic and harsh. Light bodied, heavy carbonation. Taste is very bitter, spicy hop bite.

Single bottle purchased at Rozi’s for $3.49 a bomber. Hell yes to that, take that recession! The aroma is a nice almost english malt scent, but kind of smells lager-ish. The flavor is pretty simple, crisp and grassy. A hint of lemon but lots of crisp strong planty malt flavors. I see myself picking this up since the price is right (for once).

On tap at Buckeye Beer Engine. Pours clear copper with a medium white head. Citrusy amarillo hop aroma with a light malt influence. Bitter earthy and citrusy hop flavor with a malt balance and a clean bitter finish.

(Serving from a 22 oz. bottle) Nice crisp hop nose, with strong citrus notes. Pours a clear amber, with a dusting of white head. Strong hop characteristics, light on the palate. A very nice summer beer.

22oz bottle from crizay. Poured a mostly clear golden orange with a 1 finger thick white head that diminished to a small ring. Nice nose of citrus hops and a biscuit, bready quality. Flavor held good citrus with some hop bitterness. On the front of the tongue, everything seemed good, as it got to the back of my throat, a kind of weird metallic sourness kind of turned me off of this beer. As it sat and opened up a bit, the metallics gave way to assertive bitterness.

Thanks to JaBier for sharing a bottle. The beer is a mostly clear orange-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Hoppy aroma with bready malt notes. Medium body with sweet malt and Amarillo hops flavors, as well as a touch of grain. The finish is moderately hoppy with a lingering bitterness left over. Above average overall.

This poured a nuice orange colorw ith an eggshell head. Aroma was a bit sweet, but also contain a nice punch of that unique amarillo aroma. Flavor was very balanced and smooth with lots of amarillo hops. Its a bit medicinal, but thats expected from amarillo hops, overall a refreshing Pale Ale.

I can’t get enough of this stuff. Had both in a bottle and on tap. This is Buckeye’s Amarillo IPA’s baby brother. Crystal clear with that awesome Amarillo nose. Malty with a fantastic dose of hops. As sessionalble ABV, I could drink this stuff everyday easily. Great new beer from and underrated brewer.
