Bottle, bottle date 08-18-10. Poured a slight hazed orange with a frothy off-white head that settled to a ring. Initial aroma of yeast and pale lager. Grass and floral comes out more as it warms. The flavor found yeast and citrus hop. Medium body and a light bitterness.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Lefthand. Orange-brown, filtered. Soapy off-white head. Herbal aroma. Very interesting beer. Pretty hop forward, but ends with some nice lager yeast notes. Sprucy, sage flavors, but they balance out quite well. Broad range of herbal hop nuances. Well done.

Bottle from Dorothy Lane. I liked this type and beer. Very nice example with copper color, nice head and lacing, with a unique must taste up front, very subtle so it adds to flavor, citrus notes as well.
