From the bottle. Pine and citrusand malt, acidic. Not one of the better Pale ales. Needs to be very cold. Had this on a very hot day and by the second half of the glass, it was not pleasant.

Growler. Amber color, small head. Sweet, malty aroma. Flavor was very much the same, delicious. A bit underrated?

Silly neon-like writing on the label. Dark brass color. Pleasant aroma of yeast, malt, and fresh vegetation. Fresh, yeasty taste with hints of flowers and spice. Fizzy but substantial on the palate - a good brew.

I’ve walked past this brew countless times at the store and for whatever reason I picked some up today (3-14-2008). Pours a hazy copper/amber with a thin white head that doesn’t last to long. Minimal lacing on the way down. Aroma hits me with some vanilla, some spicy hops, and a bit of caramel in the background. Taste is a watery mix of citrus hops and very minimal malt. Medium to thin body. Overall decent brew, I could see myself drinking a few on a hot summer day, but not great enough to buy on a regular basis.

Pours hazy orange with a medium head. Fair lace. Aroma of grass and floral hops. Very bitter flavor. Caramel and spice come out just a little. Not a bad brew if you like the style.

gOOD BEER. gOOD FOR SUMMER. nOT GOOD FOR PRESSING THE CAPSLOCK LIKE AN IDIOT. sORRY.

Pours a golden brown with a nice 1-inch white head. Fruity aromas, with a nice balance of hops/malts for taste, rounded out with apricot overtones. Not to my personal tastes, but a good all-around beer, and worth a try.

Thanks to Josh T. for this one. Poured a bronzed-copper body with a fluffy white top. Hoppy and biscuity nose with a unique herbal flavor. Otherwise an almost typical New England pale ale.
