Poured from the bottle, little bigger than a 12 ounce bottle, poured a hazy orange color with aromas of light citrus, and some pine. Flavors are spruce, some fruit, and some grapefruit bitterness at the end.

The aroma is hoppy and balanced with grassy hops and has plenty of malt. The appearance is golden with a large head. The taste is like the aroma but has a bitter bite that is astringent. The palate is a tad thin. Overall good.

Bottle conditioning gives this pale ale a delicate and fine mouth feel. Citrus/ passion fruit aromas of hops used are balanced well with a late malt drive. Dry finish.

Great aromas from the Nelson Savin hop, great malt structure, due to high bitterness and hopping this is more IPA in style bottle conditioning make the mouth feel superb! Fantastic brew showcasing NZ hops in fine fashion

Tallahassee, Fl - New Leaf Market - 12.7 oz bottle. Murky dark orange pour with a sticky snow white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Fruity aroma with light hints of citrus and peaches and a touch of spruce. Pleasant hoppy flavor with some light bitter citrusy notes, some minty sweetness, a bit of nectarine fruitiness. Mouthfeel is just a but too spritzy for my liking. Overall, very solid though.

Foggy, peachy-brown beer. Great cap, good embossed bottle - although I did find the shape a bit awkward for some reason. Huge head in the St. Bernardus Goblet of Judgment. Sharp, heavily-brewed hop aroma - a little vegetable, a little alfalfa, a little rabbit whiz. A strong flavoring hop presence which doesn’t impart huge bitterness, but the beer tastes like hop pellets. Medium body. The commercial description is accurate - this definitely gets better as it warms. New Leaf Market.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle served in an English pint. Pours hazy dark orange with a short-med off-white head. Great retention and lace. From the packaging you expect quality, but the nose delivers on another level. Huge pine, then more pine. Clean and stinky. Near cannibis. Bitter-grassy-green flavor, as expected. Medium body, solid carbonation, oily texture, and a looooooong oily bitter finish.

1/25/12. 12.7oz bottle. Cloudy orange pour with a small khaki head that fades to a ring. Slight skunk in the aroma but moreso tropical fruits and grapefruit with some pale malts. Sweet pale malt entry with bright tropical fruits and lingering hop bitterness and something that reminds me of bready pilsner malt. Not terrible.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a copper colour with a very different aroma and its hard to pin down what it is. has a decent hoppy flavour to it although it doesnt seem to be anything special.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Almost clear gold with a large white head. Aroma of grapefruit, gooseberry, passionfruit. Austere and bitter with lots of grapefruit zest. The other fruity tastes are there too but there’s not enough sweetness to suggest fruit salad (a good thing IMHO). Creamy mouthfeel. One note, but it’s a good one.
