Bottled. Golden colour, lightly hazy. Fresh, somewhat acidic apple aroma. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Only lightly hopped, light medium bitterness. Surprsisingly subtle for a US west coast beer. I wonder if travelling has done it damage?

Hazy blond colour. Earthy, yeasty hop nose with light fruitiness. Fairly hoppy, herbal, earthy with moderate bitterness. Light pale malt character. Dry, slightly yeasty finish.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish orange colour, small white head. Aroma is very fruitish, but sour. Hoppy fruits, alcohol and very sour flavour. Due to the enormous sourness, it was kind of hard to find all minor flavours in it.

(5/14/03): Aroma is moderately sweet, spicy, and mildly hoppy. Taste is light grapefruit hoppy, with some spiciness. Crisp. (5/23/02): Cloudy golden in appearance, citric in aroma. The initial flavor is citric sweetness. The bitter aftertaste is a bit off -- there's something in there that works against the bitterness. (5/3/6/3/11)
