On tap at Gilded Otter. Light orange in color with a little white head. Hoppy malty aroma. Sweet malty flavor. Citrusy notes. Finish is bitter. Off flavors though. Ok beer.

On tap at the Otter as part of sampler. pours light orange and tastes of citrus, florals, sugary, yeast, earth and finishes dry and hoppy. enjoyed the pale ale

Clear, golden color. No aroma. Sweet, hoppy, slightly bitter. A thin body, but not bad.

This beer came at you with a strong hoppy aroma. Smelled of citris and pine hops very strong. Body is light but flat, decently bitter but one dimentional.

Dark gold color, hoppy scent and taste with that typical Otter beer aftertaste with some hoppy bitterness at the end...one of the better Otter beers

Draft at the brewpub. Bit below average pale, as the hops were less than average. Looked OK, grapefruit cloudy body and a residue of head. Mild hop aroma. carbonation is right there, and some drinkability

On draught at the Gilded Otter. Pours a slightly hazed gold with a thin white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left spotty lace. Mild aroma of citrus along with a trace of malt. The flavor is somewhat biscuit malt with citrus emerging towards the finish. Moderate bitterness lingers briefly beyond the swallow. No problems.

tap: didn’t really put me in mind of the rail trails, but w/e. Piney earthy. lemony/ orange citrus. caramel malts with smash of bitter hops, grainy astringent. finishes dry. Nice for hop heads, but a bit overwhelming at first.

on tap–pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is pine/orange, some malt. Taste is pine/orange/grapefruit hops with some bite, some light malt. OK carbonation.

Sampled @ Otter: Pours a copper, brown orange with a off-white head. The nose is more complex than expected, with hops and florals mixing together. The initial taste reveals subdued florals mostly through young sugars and yeasts. The full mouth contains the expected hoppiness, also some wheat and earthiness.

Light and balance with some bittering hops. Taste is smooth and light with caramel malt and some citrus hops. Slightly metallic finish.
