Growler. Really nice fruity, floral hop aroma, a hint of pale malt underneath. Clear amber color, frothy, dense off-white head - gorgeous. Great balance of caramel and bready malt with fruity, floral hops, moderate bitterness. Medium body, easy drinking. One of my favorite beers from one of my favorite breweries.

Well made Pale ale. Copper color, pours with a froth white head that quickly dissapates. Aroma is slightly citrus and grassy and malty sweet. Flavor is a balance mix of tart and sweetness. Dry finish.

I can mention the pale amber body blah blah blah but I won’t. This is a solid pale ale perfectly balanced, with a unique hop profile. A wonderfully pleasant beer to drink.

Amber with medium head and lacing. Nice hoppy nose, smell citrus and some malt. Flavor is first sweet then balanced with hop bitterness after the swallow. Nice body. Good APA.

Nice foamy pour. Cloudy yellow qppearance. Hop aroma is citrus. Begins malty, then Bitter grapefruit taste kicks in. Other fruit lurking in background. Hard carbonation. Fresh and drinkable. Refreshes. Lace remains in glass. Thanks for sharing, Radek.

UPDATED: SEP 29, 2005 This pours a rich, clear amber color with a two-fingered white head. The aroma is of caramel malts topped with floral and herbal hops. The flavor is a sweet caramel backbone with solid citric, floral, and earthy hoppings. It finishes on a sweet malt note with a dollop of hop bitterness.

12 oz bottle pours amber with a short white head. Aroma of iced tea. Flavor of sweet caramel malts and a nice bitter floral finish. I picked up a little of the apple juice flavor as well as the previous poster but overall this is a well balanced pale ale. I enjoyed it..

fragrant citrus hop aroma and nice deep copper colored brew full of malt and hop flavors. sharp brisk flavor makes soft foamy head seem more harsh. nice hay malt and hops in competition at the finish before a hit of grapefruit pith.

355 ml. Clear copper with a medium and lasting head. Aroma is of buttery, slightly soured fruit soaked in beer. Flavor has a similar twang and fruitiness, with big support from toasted nut and dry malted grain flavors. Palate is almost medium-bodied, slightly dry and tingly. I used to get this on tap at Norfolk airport a lot, and always thought the sour taste was just due to high temps on the kegs during transport; I still like the diacetyls and sourish twang.
