dkachur (2318), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Feb 5, 2009 1300th rating. 12 ounce bottle brought back from a friend. Pours a hazy orange color with miniscule particles evident in the beer. Large head with average head retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is bready, slightly grassy with some subtle corny notes. Taste is sweet caramel with lots of bready and leafy hops. Medium bodied. fly (1331), austin, Tejas, USA Feb 4, 2009 Tastes organic. Uh huh. You can tell by the way it is sweet and undercarbonated and doesn’t offend all too much but does ask you to recycle even if you are an idiot and knock the bottle off the counter where it smashes into literally thousands of pieces as if tosay FUCK YOU for making fun of me - I will make you think I taste like Birkenstock sandals! IlanMan (816), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Feb 1, 2009 Bottle. Has a very grassy and lightly hopped character. Earthy with dry malt, light wheat, and a light bitter/resiny finish. Interesting but not worth drinking again. abcfan (247), New Jersey, USA Jan 27, 2009 Ehh, decent brew. Pours very hazy orange, with very little aroma. Very average ale taste. Minimal carbonation on tongue, finishes very smooth. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jan 23, 2009 A solid beer. In trade with noncaloric. Bright amber. Tiny sediment. Minimal aroma. Very nice full bodied tasty beer. I did not get the hop level I expected but would be happy to have a pitcher with a hockey game. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Jan 18, 2009

incutrav (576), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Jan 13, 2009 Very slight hop tinge on the pallate, with essentially zero hop aroma. Lots of breadiness to this.Sure its drinkable, but so, so boring and plain. Probably the worst NG brew I have had. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA Jan 12, 2009 Slightly hazy copper, small sticky white head. Orange, leather, and compost nose. More rustic than bright, but good. Leafy bitterness with a little pithy edge, nice chewy sweet malt, soft on the palate and pleasantly less aggressive in carbonation than most APAs. Balanced, full-flavored. A nice beer. Really curious if the citrus in the nose is yeast or hops.
