EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA Mar 28, 2009 Very light, fruity aroma. A bit of bread dough and fruit, a little sour, but overall pretty flavorless. Drinkable, actually pretty amazing how it can have so little flavor, then a nice aftertaste of yellow fruit and zuccini. I liked this more than its rating. guyinchicago (516), marengo, Illinois, USA Mar 19, 2009 pours golden with big off white head, aromas are of hops and malts taste is of german hops and malted grains this beer is brewed in accordence to the 1516 law of german purity [reinheistgebot] with only hops,water, yeast and barley great beer don’t agree with the low score nuplastikk (1161), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Mar 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Thick orange-brown color with a nice soapy head. Sugary orange chocolate aroma. Sweet medium dark malts collide with the solid bitterness which has a nice citrus tanginess in the finsh. Very clean and fresh, capturing some quality malt notes that arent so far off from a Brown Ale. Smooth and creamy, full of flavor with exceptional balance. Well done. Iceman82 (26), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 25, 2009 12 oz bottle from my beer director at Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen. Pours a hazy golden-orange color. Decent head with some nice residual lace. Aroma is citrus but not as hoppy as expected for an "APA".Flavor is full of malt in the beginning, followed with a very dry hoppiness that stays on the tongue. This isn’t as carbonated as I’m used to...but I really like that about this brew. Wasn’t as hoppy as I personally enjoy or expect for most APA’s. Overall, I liked this one and think its very underrated. ditmier (1023), Boise, Idaho, USA Feb 23, 2009 2008 Bottle, thanks motortoddhead!! - Pours a lt orange with a large, off white head...aroma is fruity malt, a little grain...flavour is not what I’d expect from a pale ale, light, sweet malt, finishes with a clean and bready bitter end...very light, but quite enjoyable Taverner (827), San Ramon, California, USA Feb 19, 2009 Not much hop flavor. After cracking the bottle, there are fruity esters in the aroma, but very little hop. A plus that I love the malts NG uses and this is no exception. Pours cloudy golden with no head. Finish is clean. Baumgartner (108), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Feb 7, 2009 Bottle poured to glass. Yellow in color with a slight haze.. Sweet maly profile in the aroma and taste. The hops are nicely paired for a full flavor and evenly balance brew. Syd (888), Waconia, Minnesota, USA Feb 7, 2009 Bottle pours a hazy yellow with a small head and some residual lace. The aroma is floral hops and some grass. The flavor is sweet, orange marmalade, grassy, and fresh bread. The palate is medium rich and lively. Overall, I think she’s under rated.
