Pours a light copper with a thick eggshell-colored head. Fresh, clean hoppy aroma blanced with lots of sweet caramel malt. Great tasting sweet butterscotch body well balanced with a piney hop bitterness. Very smooth, refreshing and drinkable.

01:Its rich, golden hue, lack of carbonation, and robust, almost Belgian character make me wonder at the appelation 'American Pale Ale' but no matter, another winner from Vermont's finest brewer.

03: Slightly hazy dull golden hue, small head. Malty-sweet nose with slight lemony hoppiness. Medium-sweet caramel-peachy maltiness at the front, significant bitterness at the end. Very looonnng dry bitter finish. Excellent, though I overrated it two years ago in my Ratebeer infancy.

Proud hop bitterness sliding slowly on the tongue…Youthful cereal with exalted citrus fruit…An object of reverence…

Caremelized malts, some buttery diacetyl and orange-citrus hops in the nose. Clear pale copper coloured body is topped by shy, white, large-bubbled head that diminishes rapidly to ring. Buttery flavour with strong citrus-orange hops and caramel malts. Lasting bitterness in the aftertaste. Somewhat slick in the mouth with low carbonation and somewhat thin body. Bottle (City Market - Nov. 2004).
