DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA May 2, 2005 Pours canary with big off-white head. Aroma of hops, malt, some piney resins and even some slight female taint. Tastes hoppy, with a resiny maltiness, some apricots, spice, and honey. Complex and well balanced. mephisto (1144), Taiwan Apr 3, 2005 nice big head accompanied by mild sweet aroma. the flavor is slightly hoppy, medium body. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Feb 12, 2005 (12oz bottle, best by 2/8/05) Clear orange-gold body topped by medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bready, light herb. Taste is medium sweet, bread, some floral, toffee, light caramel, orange. Light-medium body. hershiser2 (902), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Feb 6, 2005 Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Pleasant orange-golden-amber color with a large head. Smells like vomited-up Ritz crackers... really disturbing! I almost don’t want to drink this after the immediate image the small brought to mind. But I will... Ahh, thankfully the flavor is not nearly as bad. In fact, it’s quite tasty: it’s got that same Ritz cracker flavor, some coffee/toffee hints, but instead of vomit, it’s got some malts (and some hops as well). PorterPounder (3132), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jan 21, 2005 Whip-In Liquors, Austin, Tx. - 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark golden to light copper with little to no head. Aroma has some toffee notes, with some cotton candy sweetness. Flavor has some of the same sweet notes with some sweet yeasty cake mix notes coming through. Mouthfeel is slightly dusty and leans to the metallic. A decent APA, but not one of Goose Island’s finest. sloth (1657), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA Nov 14, 2004 Medium sized white head, good retention and lace. Hazy blond, copper hued brew. Lightly citrusy nose. Light body. A little citrus hop flavor backed up with faint malts. Clean little Pale Ale. Thanks kawa. sethdude (600), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Nov 7, 2004 pours a golden orange color, thin white head that becomes "rocky". Aroma is spritzy and fruity, mild citrus aroma and sweet caramel blend. Flavor is decently balanced, with smooth, caramel malts giving way to a bitter, hoppy bit and a dry finish. Decent balance. Pretty good stuff. shadey (1496), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 16, 2004 Orange pour with a soap head. Refreshing and clean with small hop character at the end. Decent stuff. Thanks to Kawa for this local.
