Filtered clear honey gold colored body with a white head. Decently hoppy nose - full of dry hop cones, fresh cut grass, dry pine wood, and some yeast character still present even after filtering. Light and oily up front, more frothy with a medium bitterness over the middle, with an airy, light finish. Far less complex than their IPA, but a still good drinker - straightforward hops but light and subdued.

Sep 17, 2009 Updated: Sep 19, 2009Poured from the bottle to a bright golden yellow with a thick white head that exploded from the bottle. Once this finally settled down, it left good lacing on the glass throughout the drink. Nose is hoppy floral, apples and a hint of banana. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and slightly tingly, and the flavor likens the hoppy floral and fruit sensations in the nose.
Not bad for a beer with a comic book name.....too bad it’s retired.

Aug 5, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. I think I must have gotten an old bottle... borderline skunky. Besides that the flavor profile is typical for the style and not bad.

May 5, 2009 Well, I love the WC IPA, the barleywine and the tripel so I figured it was time to give this a go. The color is yellow and hazy with a sticky white head. The aromas are faintly metallic with a slight hint of crisp, grassy hops lurking in the background. The flavor is weird, so subtle I almost can’t pick anything out except a slight bitter finish and a tea-like flavor, but wait, lemons!. The mouthfeel is watery but for some reason not in a bad way. I could drink several of these at a time so it would be a good session beer if the flavor was stronger. Although I found this to be slightly above average, the nut brown is next.

Mar 19, 2009 12oz bottle from somewhat out west....pours a clear light yellow brown with a small soapy white head....aroma of light grassy hops and very little of anything else.... flavors of sweet malt and light grassy hops. a touch of bitterness in the finish. not all that complex. medium carbonation. not too impressive.

Feb 16, 2009 Picked one up in a mix a 6 rack. Light golden color with white head. Light malt taste. Left a nice lace on the glass. That’s all.

Feb 8, 2009 A- Pours a cloudy dark straw hue, head is 1finger of white froth and tight tiny bubbles, fair lacing
S- Nose is mostly pale malts, crisp and clean, some bread and light toast, hints of pine and citrus hops, grass and earth
T- Very well-balanced, the pale and bread malts come through initially, followed by light hops, and a dry bitter finish
M- Light-bodied, watery to oily texture, excitable carbonation
D- Great session beer and a great pale ale, the crisp freshness is reminiscent of a lager, but the malts and hops add significant flavor and complexity, check this out for a smooth and refreshing ale

Jan 4, 2009 yellowish brown with mild head. flavor without much malt component. the hop aspect is mostly dominated with bitterness and some flavor. overall not an extrememly flavorful brew and the hop choice doesn’t really suit the english style

Nov 1, 2008 Sampled at Bevmo. Pours very clear and light straw-colored. Decent pillowy white head. Minor aroma of American hops. Taste is pretty boring. Easy to drink, but extremely boring. I can see why this is getting discontinued.
