from the tap at the brewery. poured a dark orange to brown, with no head. aaroma, malt caramel, with a light hopness, some orange. flavor, the hops came out a little more robust than they did in the aroma and balanced nicely with the malts, as it warmed the flavors did diminish a little. a little on the thin side. over all not to bad.

Draft. A drinkable pale but nothing remarkable though. A nice hop flavor and aroma but nothing special here.

(Sampled 7-5-08 at brewery from sampler) Moderately hazy yellow in appearance, white ring for a head, aroma of grapefruit and floral hops. Hits the mouth with a high-thin body, malt has a sweet twang to it, hops are very underlying and really don’t stand out, finish is like jumping off a cliff- rather abrupt drop off. Mild disappointment.

Not really too impressive. On tap@ GRBC 12/30/07. Very middle of the road, medium-bodied with a heavy citrus nose and bitter grapefruity finish.

More lingering hop bitterness than most pale ales. Nice hops in aroma too. Light amber color.

Faint floral and citrus hops on this hazy amber gold pour. The flavor is loaded with hops and is quite bitter especially on the finish.

decent at best...hazy orange appearance with large white head...aroma begins with sweet malt, and finishes with light florals...flavor is grapefruit hops with a bitter finish...nothing special here

This draft brew poured a small foamy white colored head of mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated transparent orange colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was hoppy with caramel malt notes. The mouth feel was initially tingly and yet smooth with a tingly hoppy finish that lingered well into the aftertaste. It had a very good hop flavor that was somewhat flat and unidimensional.

Draft at GRBC. Small off-white head that was mostly lasting, fair lacing, transparent, carbonated, and a yellow hue. Aroma was nicely hopped as was the flavor; however, it was at the same time too hoppy for my taste. Hoppy mouthfeel. Light-medium body.

Cloudy bronze woth a thin white rim of bubbles. Faint appley fruitiness in the nose. Hops is light and orange citrus aromas are faint. Body is thin and light. Not much tatse going on, some faint sweetness and a bit of prange peel at the finish.
