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. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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.
