Thanks to Degarth for reminding me I had this one. Nose is muted hops, sweet grains, perfume/floral notes and some light caramel malt. Light orange/yellow in appearance with a smallish white head, no retention and only very drippy lacing. Light to medium bodied, stays away from watery. Flavor is metallic all the way through, masking any good flavors that might be there. I finished my whole sample, so that’s something, and besides the metallic notes, it has no glaring flaws.

Unique flavor mix of pale ale with citrus flavors. Very light bitterness. Nice but not real remarkable.

On draft at FBG Fest 2012. Pours a yellow-orange with a white head. Nose is orange and citrus with bits of caramel. Flavor is similar with shots of citrus and a bit of malt. Light to medium in body and nice overall.

Amber in color, clear with a thin head. Nice hops and malt aroma. The flavor was light and i was hoping for this to be more. Light citrus finish this was a OK brew.

A blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, some nice light hopping, very faint but nice. In mouth, a nice IPA like offering,with floral hops, light malt, herbal notes, quite nice. On tap at brewpub, Jan. 6 2011.

RBWG 2010: 3/11/2010 @ the brew pub. Poured a clear amber color with a small white head. Decent aroma of citrus hops with some earthiness and mild orange notes. Citrus orange hop flavor with some pine. Hop forward and big. Well at least bigger than the malt. Long dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied.

Dark orange color. Aroma has juicy hops big and hoppy. Flavor is clean bright and hoppy. Nice hoppy finish, nice and actually light and drinkable.

Tap. Unfiltered, hazy gold color. Aroma of lemon zest and citrus hops. Soapy flavor. Nice toasted grain flavors. Lots of hops. Pine and citrus. A bit stronger than the other brews of Charlie and Jake’s. I recommend this beer after trying all of the others. Finishes with a Cascade, soapy bubbles hop flavor.

Very tasty ale. On ocassion it can be a little off from previous tastings, but is always a good beer.

Draft at Charlie and Jakes. Amber in color with a pale white cap. The aroma is somewhat fruity yet crisp. It has a nice hop, citrusy yet smooth and malty. It has a clean crisp, clear finish.
