Golden-amber; slightly musty aroma with English hops, pear and light caramel. Slightly buttery palate, with a touch of tangerine. Surprisingly lifeless - I normally dig this brewery's stuff.

Clear apple juice body with medium white head. Aroma is faint, apple, pine, fresh-baked bread. Taste is medium sweet, apple, tart, finishing very mildly earthy bitter. Light body.

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and yellow gold color. Aroma is grainy, husky, light malt-sweetness, some spicy hops. Taste follows. No really bad characteristics, just barely middle of the road pale ale. Lots of effervescence/fizzy on the front of the tongue. OK carbonation.

Botttle from Oak Tree. Pours orange amber with a creamy/bubbly white head. Aroma seems lightly floral. Med body. Flavor is lightly spicey with some mild caramel. Makes me think of a light Belgian ale. Then it develops a flavor I associate with Asian food - actually maybe an incense note. It’s not exceptionally bitter, but it’s dry. Unusual to me.

Sparkling clear, yellow ale with a small, white, fizzy head. Weak aroma, but I do detect faint notes of butterscotch, English toffee and straw. The flavor is a bit watery and thin, but does have a smooth, silky mouthfeel with some mild, citrus notes. Buttery. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. The finish is short and moderately bitter.

On tap. Poured a medium and clear golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of fruits and maybe some flowers. Tastes of the same. On the sweet side. Thinner body. Not much really going on with this one.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Light caramle malt aroma. In mouth, a crisp malt with herbal hops, with strong diacetyl finish. Medium bodied. Mondial 2006.

Golden pour. Aroma is lightly malty with a little bit of light bready straw aroma. Fairly clean but there is a very light fruity estery component to the beer. Soft and quite well-balanced. Kind of reminds me of Honker’s Pale Ale. A lightly sweet fruitiness on the finish. A little bit of grassiness on the finish as well.

Way too carbonated, gushing a yellowish coarse bubbled head atop a light yellow body. Nose of a Belgian blonde ale, with light spicy yeast and lemons, tastes similar, some mild grassy hops and some lemon zest. Nothing too impressive.

Tap at Hudson Street Stackhouse. Pours clear dark amber with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is fruity esters, floral and fruity hops with biscuit malt. Flavor is malt forward with medium hops and bitterness and a dry finish. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.
