fuyajo (222), Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 15, 2008 Clear amber color, pours to a small head. Nice aroma of citrus, hops, a bit of yeast. Big hop flavor up front, flavor trails off in the middle with notes of citrus malt, with a mildly lingering hop after taste. Good balance; would buy again.
beerguy101 (3547), Newark, California, USA Oct 24, 2008 Sampled 10/23/2008. This pale ale pours a orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel malts and citrusy. A medium bodied pale ale. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are grapefruity and floral. There is some fruitiness that I wasn’t expecting. It kind of sweet and tastes like some berry of some kind, possibly huckleberry? Kind of weird, but does not detract too much from the beer overall. Lively carbonation. Decent balance. The mouthfeel is full and round. The finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. boFNjackson (609), Portland, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle... Poured a hazy amber/orange with a creamy off-white head. I think a little of their huckleberry cream ale batch had gotten into this bottle because there was definitely some of those berry flavors in this. Other lemon, citrus notes and dry hops. I don’t know if I’m going crazy but oh well. hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with jake65 (thanks!). Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of stronger floral, citrus, and toasted grains. Tastes of citrus, floral, and caramel. rkuhnel (1199), Eureka, California, USA Jul 3, 2008 From a 12 oz bottle from Paul’s Grocery in McCall Idaho that cost 8.46 a six pack this poured a rich and clear copper color with fat off-white head and good lacing. Nose of caramel malts and citrus hops. Lively but pleasant mouthfeel leading to flavors of malts and hops in good balance. Slight bitterness in the dry sinish. Very easy to drink.
