Reviewed from notes. On tap at the brewpub in August 2009.
Pours a clear golden color with a two-finger white head. While the head is initially pretty decent off the pour, it falls pretty quickly and doesn’t leave any lace behind. The nose is some fain citrus along with a bit of pale malt. Taste is very light bitterness and extra light hops along with some generic bready malt. Medium body without any real indication as to the style. Drinkability is fine I suppose, but it’s not what I’m looking for out of a beer of this style.

On tap @ Liquid Bread. Transparent, burnt orange appearance with an off white head. Slightly earthy, slightly citrusy hoppy nose. Flavor has a pretty big pale to amber malty taste with more piney hoppy flavor with a touch of earthiness. Not bad but not good.

On tap at the Parkville Microbrew Festival. Loved this beer as well. Pours amber with an off-white head of solid stature. Superb citrus grapefruit hop aroma and flavor. Fresh hop grassyness throughout. Long tongue-blanching bitterness resides long after the beer has travelled down your gullet.

GABF 2009. Nice bright clear copper color with a medium lasting white head. Looks nice, but then falls a bit flat. Aroma is caramel and mild citrus hops. Flavor is pretty unexciting and devoid of the hop punch I expect, with caramel malt and some muted pine/citrus hops. Palate dry and crisp with medium body. Overall a bit disappointing after having their oatmeal stout, which was great.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is orange golden with nice lacing as the beer falls down. Aroma of not too much, some resin some pine, perhaps a touch of toasty malt. Taste picks up a bit from the nose, nice balance between toasted mildly sweet malt and resinous pine earthy bitter hops. Palate is medium, bright carbonation, along with the great dry mineral finish that most of these Liquid Bread beers.

Very nice. It was a seasonal but the server told me that it was popular enough to make it part of the regular line up. Featured a nice piney hop aroma to start. Flavor was light, was a mild resiny hop. Malts were light but sweet and bready. Finish only mildly bitter. Faded copper color with nice lacing.
