750ml bottle in a tulip glass. Pours golden/amber with a big, fluffy, off-white head. Aroma of spicy yeast, light fruits, caramel malts, and lots of hops for a beer of this style. Flavor about the same, with the hops, spiciness and light fruit blending well. Average texture. A pretty good beer.

750 ml courtesy of dmac. Shared with friends. Thanks! Pours a well hazed golden orange hue. Fiery glow and huge thick offwhite head keeps good sized, and laces well. Aromas are firm dryness, suntan lotion and earthy grass and florals. Gentle dry bread, yeast, and some gentle sweetness. Some gentle apple and white grape, mellow dry hop grow. A faint waft of banana. Initial is medium bodied, offering gentle fruity apple and touches of dry floral hops. Mellow dryness picks up quickly, touches of earth, herbal, and mellow sweetness. Some prickly yet silky carbonation. Mellow sweet bread, cereal grains, crackers. Green apple, touches of banana, and dry floral and spicy hops. Mellopw sweetness, very drinkable, a nice dry finish. Silky sweet middle. Wow, very nice beer. Perhaps a touch overly dry/carbonated body, but I really like this. Well done!

Bottle. Pours foamy white head. Aroma has perfume, floral, and white pepper. Flavors are sweet honey that’s quickly met with pepper, floral, perfume. Finishes semi sweet but rather drinkable.

Bottle [750ml] shared with HogTownHarry, JoeMcPhee, jerc & mabel -- c/o JoeMcPhee. Feb. 11. Pours a cloudy orange-copper with an average size lasting fluffy off-white head. Lovely aroma is herbal, yeasty, fruity, floral and spicy. Flavour’s the same: Herbal, yeasty, citrusy and spicy -- and quite tasty! Medium bodied. Fantastic stuff.

Bottle. Fizzy white head on a very hazy burnt orange body. Earth, slight funk, bitter apples and slight hay in the aroma. Bit of funkiness, sour apple, pear, and grassiness in the flavor. Medium to lighter body wih vibrant carbonation. Very solid

Golden yellow body is slightly hazy, nice foamy off-white head. 3+ Pleasant aroma, lightly funky musty aroma, mild lemon and fruit. 7+ Flavour has a dry bitterness to it, very lightly floral, grassy/straw, mild underlying fun. 7+ Average bodied palate. Relatively mild overall but quite nice. Bottle shared by JoeMcPhee

Nice pale golden topped by a tight white head. Popped with a bit of a gusher. The nose is awesome. Bright fresh fruit and yeasty spice. A little bit of a light sort of sweaty funky character. Pepper and a little bit of fresh citrus as well. Nice bright peach/citrus character. Tropical but with a dry sort of minerality as well. Very quaffable stuff.

A nice straw color body with a white head that had great retention and nice lace. Body grew stlightly cloudy from the yeast on the bottom. Aroma had a nice barnyard aroma, some grassy notes to it that were high lighted by a nice banana/bubblegum presence. Flavor had a great barnyard note upfront, the hops were mostly grassy but there was a slight bitterness to it. There was a nice almost sourness to it in the aftertaste that really added another layer of flavor to it. Finish was light and refreshing carbonation was present but never too much.

750 ml botle poured a clear gold with a lasting off white head. Aromas of straw, barnyard funk, light citrus and light spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, barnyard funk, yeast, pepper and light citrus with a crisp dry lingering funky finish.
