Mar 25, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with ppoitras (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy orange color with an average sized white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, some yeast and fruity. Tastes of citrus, some caramel, a little bready with a light spicey finish. Some lacing left on the glass. Would make a nice session beer if this was available locally.

Sep 19, 2007 Bottle: Pours a clear deep golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and some fresh grapefruity hops. Body starts with nice light malty sweetness and some crisp hoppy balance. Finishes smooth, balanced and bittersweet. A nice APA.

Jun 11, 2007 My Bottom Line:
Fresh grassy hops lend their spiciness and citrusy fruitiness to well-balanced biscuity maltiness. This is a smashing quencher of an unfiltered Pale Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the turbid beige-yellow.
-Some of the hoppiness somewhat recalls noble hops, but of higher alpha acid levels.
-The overall hoppiness plesantly lingers as well.
-The fluffy effervescence is comfortable.

Nov 2, 2006 12 oz bottle. Very, very pale golden. Aroma is quite earthy and spicy with orange marmalade notes over the top. Quite fresh-smelling. Flavour is lightly bready with a sweet spicy orangey hop flavour. Some softly floral character and a bit of minerally flavour throughout. Easy-drinking sessionable ale. Not a great deal of complexity, but it’s still pretty nice when you just need a pint.
