| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Bought this on a whim while in Napa Valley. Pours to a slightly hazy, very pale yellow, with thin white head that lingers tio mid-glass. Aroma is hoppy fruit (apples, lemons and grapes) mixed with a floral bouquet and a hint of malt. Actually a nice full mouthfeel that led into a taste that accented the fruits of the nose.
FInished off pleasantly. This wouldn’t be a bad session beer.

Semi-clear golden straw pour with minimal ring of near white head. Very floral aroma with green apples. Flavor is like potpourri and lavender. Very unique, but not sure if I actually care for it. The hops have become metallic. Barrios (925), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 3, 2010 Light pale gold in color. Smells of popcorn salt and a freshly opened bag of potato chips. Also notes of fresh pears. Upon tasting: Some light sour notes, definitely lemon slushy. Odd slushy pattern to tonight’s tasting. Oscbert (554), Sacramento, California, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Bottle, from Wine Warehouse. Pours toasted orange in color, with a small white head and lacing. Aroma is earthy, lightly hopped, blossomy, with minerally notes. Palate is light, creamy through the middle, finishing soft. Flavor has a rather interesting blend of rose water, creamy malt, and fruitiness. Pretty interesting little pale ale, delicate rather than bold. Tmoney99 (4805), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
