Bottle from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. Nice citrus and floral aromas. Maybe even apple. Not quite medium body. Flavor is light malt with a decent amount of hop. I’d say citrus and floral or grass. Definitely bitter, but this is light. A very good candidate for session or flavorful lawnmower. Very bitter IMHO.

On draft at Brass Tap, poured a clear golden yellow color, aromas of some yeast, grass, and a touchh of wood. Flavor is the same just a little flavor of aromas, ok beer overall.

Clean, fresh, hop forward pale ale. Pale yellow with a white lacy head. Citrus and grassy on the palette with a lingering bitterness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle, clear amber with short white foa,, aroma and flavor in good strawberry style, somewhat metallic finish is only off note

Aroma is yeasty, woody, and rather grassy. It pours a rather wan clear yellow, but at least the white head is thick and fluffy. Malty flavor has a strong hoppy, grassy overtone with a subtle note of yeast and a fair amount of bitterness, rather like an IPA. Texture is rather thin, though it has a good tingle. Though not Highland’s best effort, still worth at least a try. (And refreshing on a May day that feels like August!)

Pours yellow-gold with a small white head. Aroma is cedar-like pine and not much else. Taste is light white grapefruit and pine up front with mellow light malts and easy hop bitterness in the finish. A very crisp and clean tasting beer. Like it.

22oz bomber pours a dark golden color with a nice white head. Aromas of citrus, floral, grass. Light bodied great session beer.

Ar: Ripe pear and pine. Ap: Golden, slightly hazy - small white head with moderate retention and a spotting of lace. T: Lemon, orange zest, and light pine notes - some grass and a medium bitterness - leafy on the finish. P: Light body with medium-high carbonation - finish is dry. O: A refreshing and light pale ale - simple.

Nice aroma. Appearance was very light -- not much darker than a macro. Not much head or lacing. Very drinkable.

this was on odd beer. it had all the taste and aroma of a hoppier beer, but it didnt linger on the palette like i was expecting. it evaporated very quickly. not sure what to think of this one honestly.
