inbirraveritas (712) - Budapest, HUNGARY - SEP 20, 2010
0.33 l bottle. Hazy golden/orange pour with a small, laceing and filmy remaining white head and fizzy carbonation. Herbal, fruity nose. It begins sharp, the nice flavour is of pineapples. Texture is medium to thin, so it’s easy drinkable. Citrus, wheat, yeasty and herbal/spicy aromas in the malt-based middle, the moderate tart finish is citric, dry, alcoholy and a spicy-fruity aftertaste remains at last. Nice.

gururyan (304) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - SEP 17, 2010
Poured from the bottle, a light golden color, clear. Minimal head, dissipates quickly. Is exactly as described, "golden ale, strong, spicy, lightly hoppy." I couldn’t agree more. I’m going to need to pick some more up for sitting in the back under the stars, listening to the game, sitting by the chiminea. Well done.

Great cloudy gold color. OK lacing. Aroma of fruit and hops. Nice lively carbonation on the palate. I don’t know exaclty how to describe the taste, but I very much enjoyed it.
