Jul 1, 2009 Pours a cloudy copper color, with medium sized off white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy, some grainy-ness. Fairly bland, not much going on but some light hoppyness. Pretty boring.

Jun 28, 2009 Very light on the hops for a pale ale. This is more of a cream ale or blond ale. Some yeast, cloudy yellow. Lightly hopped and some malt. Drinkable enough, if very simple. It falls short of the standard New Glarus has set with other products.

Jun 28, 2009 Hazy orange with a thin head.
Aroma is biscuity malt and a light fruity hoppiness.
light body with a flavour that is medium malt with an earthy herbal biterness.
So-so

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle wife bought in Wis. Good cotton candy aroma. Golden body with white head. Decent sweet bittering of hop flavor. Clean on the palate best organic so far and I’ve had some crappy ones.

Jun 14, 2009 Not a fan. I’ve not yet found an organic beer that struck me as good, to bad as I normally like apa’s. This was a decnet simple clean beer, but was just not special. It lacked a clean enough citrus or ftruit balance to the hops, had to light of an aroma and to thin of a palate. But I’d still drink this over a lot of things on a hot day.

Jun 7, 2009 Pours a hazy bright orange with a 3 finger yellowish head that has excellent retention. Aroma is pretty weak... lots of cirtus notes a little herbal, tea, and caramel. Flavor was a real suprise, I was expecting much less based on the aroma but it starts out with a nice creamy caramel, some sweet bread rolls, a hint of floral sweetness and leads into a beautiful hop bouquet that comes in suprisingly late, juicy citrus sweet grass and a little lemon-lime. The finish is the same citrus note and a suprisingly rich caramel fade accompanied by just enough bitterness to keep the balance. Palate is light and sprizy with an active but fairly soft carbonation and tickles the palate without being too harsh. This is a really good APA, perfect BBQ beer.
