2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Light orange color, decent head. Dry, slightly hoppy aroma. Flavor is slightly bitter, crisp finish. Not a bad beer at all, just not a lot going on for me.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed golden colored body with a finger-width, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is flowery citrus and tropical fruits with a bready malt sweetness. A light pine and pepper too. Flavor is the same. Herbal citrus and flowers up front with a bit of a tropical fruitiness. Slightly bready malts balance nicely. Finishes with a bit of a peppered pine, moderate bitterness. Dry with a lengthy aftertaste. Medium body with a soft carbonation. Overall, a solid APA. Straightforward, but well hopped and balanced. Not much to complain about here.

From a bottle poured a straw color with a fair amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lasting finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Pours light golden color with slight head that disappears quickly. The hops are very noticable with this one, especially with the after taste. I wasn’t as impressed with this one as I have been with most of the other Founders brews. It’s good but it lacks character.

Bottle. orange pour with a white head - foamy at first but dissipated quickly. Floral hop nose. Flavor was citrus, a sharp hop bite, but balanced on the finish. Good stuff.

(Sample Date: 11/28/2008 Source:Other) Big orange citrus hop nose. Mostly clear light orange/golden. Nice floral citrus hop flavor over caramelized malts sweetness. Finish is dry with tea like hop notes and bitterness.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Poured a hazy yellowish color with a little white head. The head went rather quickly. Aroma was faint hops, floral and herbs. Flavor was some citrus, and mild hops. Weaker for a pale ale, but still very drinkable.
