Bottle: Courtesy of Degarth Poured a small offwhite head, retention was fair, lace is thin and stringy. Hazy gold hued ale. Nose is lightly spicey, faint maltiness. Med/light bodyLight fruity flavors, light citrus notes. A noticeable sourness seems to come into play here also. Dry finish, fruity. The sourness steals away from this one.

Tasted in 2009. Gold in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of corn tortillas. Taste is of corn and cardboard.

Pours medium orange clear. Mild caramel, fruit and citrus aroma but really bland. Flavor lends again light caramel and citrus. Light body dry finish. This one is meh but it is what it is.

Bottle from Liz. Pours light orange amber with a few white bubbles. Aroma is a little caramel and some citrus. Near med body. Flavor is sort of a little caramel and some citrus. Not getting any flavor extremes here.

Drinking this for first time off the draft in ft lauderdale beach side bar happy hour- 78 deg day in Jan so I don’t have too much to complain about. However, this beer kinda blows. Not terrible and drinking out of a plastic cup can’t be helping. Well tastes kinda flat, little head, no sharpness or bite I like you know? Conclusion not a bad happy hour beer from a bar with only 3 taps - but don’t go seeking this one out.

Stale pale ale. Nothing notable about this one other than to say that the ingredients seemed less than fresh. Everything about it was just a little musty and, while not off-putting, flat.

Yeah not a very good beer. The aroma might have been the best part. All down hill from there. Flavor is soft toasted malts some grassy hops but muted. Not in a watered down way like many/most bad beers are but in an ’eh, could use more’ tyPe of way.

Golden orange in color with a decent head. Aroma was somewhat fruity. Taste is orange zest with minimal hops. Coming from father in laws fridge after who knows how long it was not all that bad.

Beer of the month club, pours orange with a decent head, aroma of pineapple, peach and malt, flavor of malt, peach, tangerine and citrus skin, zesty and quite refreshing, medium bodied, nice

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Slightly hazy orange-amber color with a white head. Grapefruity hops aroma with piney notes and somewhat biscuity and caramelly malt notes. Flavor has some sweetish malt, and moderately bitter piney and citric hops. Medium-bodied. Decent.

from BotM club. Nice color, golden amber with thinning white head. Corn and malt sweetness in the aroma. Cereal flavor, sweet with hop bitterness that lingers a bit too long. Kind of scattered.
