Medium-big head atop a clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, some mustiness. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, orange peel, some caramel. Medium bitterness. Light-medium body. Decent, thoughthe sweetness is not quite offset by the bitterness.

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2008 12 oz bottle-pours a big foamy tan head that reduces and leaves a nice lacing, color is a clear amber. Aroma is a nice blend of malt/hops. Taste is a little undercarbonated but nice. 080324- -on tap-nice hops bite. Good carbonation. 3.2

Bottle from Half Time. It’s a wild foamer. Clear copper with an off-white head. Roast caramel aroma with a citrus hint. Fullish body with a very foamy carb. Amber/caramel malt with moderate citrus hop. Wild thing! S’ok, but don’t make my heart sing.

Anber in colour with malts and hops aroma. Enjoyable blend of the hops and malt, very well balanced. A nice little number from this brewery.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2008 Draft... Harrisburg Beer Festival 2... Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. The aroma and flavor are pretty nondescript. Perfectly balanced. Light to medium-bodied and fizzy. Short, crisp, clean finish. A hint of malt, but, in the end, way too thin for the style.

Bottle. Clear amber color, medium white head. Aroma of caramel and summer fruit. Taste is similar. Plain.

On tap. Poured a medium amber color. Hoppy and malty aroma and tastes. Couldn’t really pick anything special out of it although I enjoyed the overall taste.

Bottle from jah noth. Pours clear amber with a small, fizzy, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, cookie, caramel), light hops (flowers), average yeast (dough) with notes of apple, oranges, candy, and pear. Medium bodied, oily texture, average carbonation and an astringent finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

Very fresh from Super Saver. A small head on amber body. Citrus Hops and malt in aroma. Significantly Fruity and malty followed by a bland bitterness in the finish. For seriously hot days only. ABove average carbonation.
