Comments: An original, very yeasty, dry and floral ale that is not so fresh-tasting as I’d hoped and hesitating to take a direction.
nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 27, 2009 The aroma is malty and yeasty with grassy hops. The appearance is pale gold with a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bit of astringency. The palate is what I expect from the style. Overall a decent beer but not one I would rave about. jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 20, 2009 Great name. Ok beer. On tap at Deep Ellum on a trip to boston for my cousin’s wedding. Light and great for summer with a lemon citrus flavor. Grassy hay aroma. Light yellow color and big white head. Slightly toasted grain and corn flavor. williamherbert (461), Syracuse, New York, USA Sep 18, 2009 Appearance is banana yellow with a thick, fluffy head. Cloudy, with lots of tiny carbonation bubbles floating up. Looks like a hefeweizen.
Smells of a mild pilsner. Mildly bitter hops, but also a spicy Belgianish orange peel. Smell is weak. Mix between Belgian ale and mild pils.
Bitterish hops but a stale, musty taste, as if it sat in the cellar too long. Has a dry mahogany flavor. Has an ashtray taste.
Dry and ashy. Has a dry afterfeel. An ashy, bitter hefeweizen. It’s a confused beer and not in a great way. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Sep 15, 2009 at the first fresh sip it brings and hard bitter of pine. after a minutes of breathing it mellows out a little and makes a quite drinkable beer. the malts are hops are very balance with a touch of floral and lots of pine. hopscotch (5440), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2009 Bottle… Hazy, light amber ale with a small, dense, white head. Good retention. Fruity, lightly spicy aroma – mainly apricot, peach and a pinch of clove. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Fruity and sweet, but balanced nicely by a clove phenol and a reserved, but nice, hop component. Minerally, watery, bland finish. Beerlando (2284), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 21, 2009 Bomber. Pours a hazy golden hue with a massive, lasting, snow white head of rocky foam. Sticky, cloud-like lacing coats the glass in clumps. The aroma is light and creamy, notes of clean blonde malt accompanied by zesty lemon rind and estery, ethereal bread yeast. Flavors are similarly structured, airy citrus chiffon and peppery lemon contrasting nicely, with a nice amount of grassy hoppiness and a dry, yeasty finish. Medium to light in body, the palate is easy going and quaffable. This is a very solid session brew, nice for a hot summer day. vtafro (452), , New Jersey, USA Aug 13, 2009 Bottle. Very cloudy golden pour with white head that becomes spotty. Sweet citrus aroma. Flavor isn’t as sweet as the aroma would make you think, malt flavor, yeast, slight chewy hop note and spices. Alright but far from a godly beer. Decent when fresh only about a month after bottling. TampaBrew (746), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 7, 2009 Pours a hazy yellow. Nose is crisp citrus, lemon, sour orange, mild grain and yeast. Flavor is a sharp tannin, mild citrus, yeast, some grassiness. Very very drinkable. I can see sitting out by the pool with this and I appreciate the unfiltered qualities.
