A pale blonde ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light buttery notes and British hops. In mouth, a crisp malt with light veggie notes, grassy hops, OK. On tap at brewery, Dec. 9 2012.

Pours clear yellow with a light orange hue and creamy white head. Aroma is light citrus tanginess. Flavor brings light citrus notes and a crispy wheat like aspect as well. The body is crisp and medium, right on for style.

Draft. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate balanced aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Balanced session beer.

Draft to taster at Cigar City. Looks decent; a transparent orange with white lacing. Smells and tastes hoppy with something else I can’t put my finger on. Average on the palate. Okay, but pretty mild overall.

very hippy orange aroma. sweet orange taste little hoot. good sweet Betty drinkable

copper color, aroma of bread and citrus hops, flavors are the same, crisp and clean, easy drinking

On draft at Cigar City. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is light malt with huge hop burst: tropical fruity, pine, and mild citrus. Flavor follows suit with all of the bright and fruity flavors that the nose promises. This one is absolutely brilliant; a light-bodied pale that has the wallop of an IPA. At 4.8%, it’s a killer session pale.

Draft. Hazy gold pour, white head. Aroma of tea, grass, citrus, cracker. Taste is sweet, pine hops, tea, biscuit. Palate is a bit astringent, bitter finish.

Draft at Proof. Pale yellow pour with a white head the laces. Aroma of light maltiness, tropical hops and fruity yeasts. Flavor is clean zesty citrus and crisp grains. Alright beer without too much going on.

Pours a slightly hazed pale yellow on tap with frothy white head that dissipates to leave moderate lace. Aroma and taste of pale malts and wheat. Not a whole long going on and not that great. A disappointment from cigar city.
