CharlesDarwin (1824), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA Jul 29, 2009 12 oz Bottle. Pours a hazed orange-golden, with a nice white fringe. Smells very lightly of grassy hops, a bit of orange peel, and some light herbs. Flavor is dominated by a crisp malt snap and some light sweet candied almonds. Some yeast, a nip of alcohol and let behind is a very drinkable, but mildly flavored pale ale. I’d take some more hops. There’s a little funkiness to the overall flavor profile and it’s not as snappy as I like from it, but it’s alright. bitbucket (2027), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jul 8, 2009 Bottle, Pours hazy dark gold with a frothy white head. Sweet citrus, grass and toffee aroma and taste. Grass and earth finish. yesyouam (587), Fairport, New York, USA Jul 6, 2009 New Glarus Organic Revolution is a clear, solid gold with a thin white head that leaves great lacing. It smells lemony and clean, maybe a bit grassy. It’s just about medium bodied (a bit light) and very smooth with a pretty clean finish. It has a grassy, mellow flavor with nice bitterness and nice balance. It would make an excellent session ale. JoeMcPhee (4911), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jul 5, 2009 Cloudy deep glden-yellow beer. Aroma is light and grainy. There is a very nice fresh soft maltiness. the hops are lightly fruity with a soft fresh sweet malt backbone. Low to moderate bitterness. Softly herbal with a bit of light tartness on the back. It’s kind of non-descript. Not bad, but not all that good either. joshpiledean (224), Ames, Iowa, USA 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. JK (2946), Richfield, Minnesota, USA 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. Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA 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 Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA 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.
