Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a very cloudy golden yellow color with a quickly diminished small amount of alabaster bubbles. Aroma is of nice yeast, light grains, light fruits, grass, and some spice. Taste is of light grains well blended with nice yeast and grassy hops with some light fruits and spice. Light bodied and smooth with low carbonation. Ending is of mild grassy hops with notes of spice.

12 oz bottle from beastiefan2k. Pour is a hazy golden yellow, with a nice white head. This is a Pale Ale? Pours like a Saison or a wit, not complaining, just surprised. Aroma of flowers and some sweetness. I also get some biscuit malt in there too. Perhaps a touch of yeastiness also. Flavor is very citrusy, which was a bit of a surprise. I got a real orange citrus start, and a citrus peel finish. The bitter orange peel finish is quite long. In between there was some piney hoppiness as well. Interesting beer. Thinnish palate despite all of the flavors going on. I can’t remember why I put this beer on my want list, but I am glad I did. Thanks Eugene!

Bottle: Pours a cloudy light yellow orange with a thin white head. Caramel, light earth, and grassy hops in the aroma, starts and ends lightly bitter with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Mellow carbonation and light to medium bodied.

Straw color, slightly fruity aroma. I get some grape notes, pretty good flavor. Decent pale ale, a little different but I liked it.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy golden body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus and some caramel. Flavor of floral hops and caramel malt. Nice APA.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells earthy with some spicy elements. Tastes of caramel, tea, some earthy hints.

Hazy pale yellow color. Coarse beige head. Inviting, fresh citrus to the nose. Notes of dry malt. Taste is dry fruity and dry malty with a fair amount of bittering hops. Light to medium body. Long hoppy finish. Nice, straightforward and moreish. (Bottle @ RBNAG’07)
