Tap. Golden color. Light fruit, bready malt, nice citrus. Flavor has a nice dry malt, some calming citrus hop. Long lingering bitterness. feb 2009.

Dull straw with a loose head. Rich, woody, citrusy and lightly bready aroma. Really dry, with just pale malt underpinning. This brings the bitterness to the fore in a big way. Lightly fruity. There’s a faint oxidized character that is stale and cardboardy.

Warm hazy golden, leaves lots of lacing. Fruity fun aroma. Smooth carbonation and nice quaffability. Fruity body. Some citrus, a lot of hop bitterness in the vein of orange peel and douglas fir.

on tap-pours a light tan head that laces and gold color. Aroma is citrus/pine hops (cascade), some malt. Taste is lots of bitter pine hops, some sweet medium malt. Mild/OK carbonation.
