Growler shared thanks to MilkmanDan Pour is medium gold with a quick white head. aroma is citrusy fruitiness with a vegetal fresh hop quality. flavour is medium bodied maltiness, grassy and citrusy hop. Decent pale ale overall.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2011 [Growler] Pours deep golden with a small white head. Aroma is citrus, but also some grassiness, and an unusual character that I can’t peg--some type of melon. Taste is fairly malt heavy, but enough citrus (grapefruit and a little tangerine) to balance it out. Somewhat-thin mouthfeel, smooth, finish is of average or slightly below length. Overall, a nice beer, but just a little too malt heavy, and there is a type of hops used that I’m not crazy about.

Re-rate: I’m liking this more as I drink the rest of the growler. I’m noticing much more grapefruit in the taste, and in general the malt is taking more of a back seat to the hops. Not sure why it seems so different today--perhaps I poured before it had chilled enough yesterday. Either way, I like it, and I’m bumping it from a 3.4 to a 3.7.
