Nose is a moist, citrus hop with mild malt. Pours a rich golden color with a thin white head. Thin mouthfeel with coppery lead and moist, malty finish. Hops are fresh and grassy. Well balanced.

355 ml. bottle shared with a number of people. I love the cover art on this one, wonderful, makes me think of “The Prisoner”. Very pale, clear orange with little white head. Light citrus notes in the nose, light sweetness and fruitiness, light sweeter yeast, grass, very light fruits and oranges. Taste is sweeter citrus hops, touch of sweeter marmalade, touch toffee, hint white sugar, sweet fruity oranges, caramel. Med, touch malty, tad flatter. Far more enjoyable than suggested by the ratings.

Bottled over 5 mo. ago sat on room temp shelf probably some time. Light head bright clear golden orange with floaties and poured homebrew style trying to keep it out at the bottem. Aroma has some hops with fruit of fresh cantelope slight bit of musty funk,light citrus with busicuit. Flavor is clean light -medium smooth,with fruit hop flavor busicuit some mild creamyness,with a citrusy almost tart clean lightly drying finish. Mild-medium bitterness with citrus/herb.I just wish this had been fresher and stored better i could see this being a pretty nice (er) pale ale otherwise.

On tap at Barley’s. The rye in here is a cool twist. The hop notes are nice and grassy up front, then finish with a lingering bitterness which reacts rather interestingly with the rye. I would definitely drink it again, but all the same, there are a lot of options out there and a full 6-pack might last me a while. Rye in a beer is good on occasion, but I find that a little goes a long way.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow color. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter flavor. Long heavy bitter nice finish. Creamy palate.

Very aromatic with floral hops and citrus peel. Fresh, fruity, hoppy taste. Has a light body that doesn’t carry the flavour through so well.

This starts with a nice floral aroma, with caramel undertones. Pours a clear amber, with a small white head. This is a malt forward beer, with a touch of rye peeking through and a mild finish. Overall, this is a nice easy drinking beer, although I would prefer more of a hop presence.

Gold-amber with decent, creamy, white head / Nose of toast and dry hops / Medium body, good balance and lightly bitter finish / Simple flavors of toast and dry hops, with grapefruit notes / Not on a par with the better APA’s.

Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Flowery aroma with light citrus notes and light sweet malts. The flavor has light citric and floral hops, lightly sweet malts, and just a hint of pine. Good stuff.
