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.

Jan 1, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy orange with lots of floaties and a nice off-white head. The aroma is lemony hops and lightly toasted bread. The flavor is decently hoppy with lemongrass and pepper qualities. Yeasty and bready malt qualities are the base. The finish is mild earthy bitterness. Not bad.

Dec 31, 2008 Pours a very cloudy golden body that smell of slight hops, yeast, and bread. Tastes of more bready sweetness and minimal hops aftertaste. A very mild beer that is still good, but probably the worst i have had from NG.

Dec 12, 2008 Pours a orange color with a fizzy white head. Nose of fruits, caramel, bitter hops, spice. Initial taste is grainy, earthy notes, moving into a quick candy sugar, touched with strawberry. Mid palate to finish displays some sharp hop notes and caramel. Palate is average, minor head retention. Mouth feel is oily and light bodied. A drinkable brew, but nothing to have again.

Dec 1, 2008 This one poured a light orange and a short lasting head followed. Straight up malt with a slightly spicy hop balance. A crisp and slightly thin finish. A good session beer.

Nov 28, 2008 Nice crisp beer. Malty flavor with some sweetness. Tastes a lot like the New Glarus Totally Naked. Good drinking beer, though nothing all that special.

Nov 19, 2008 Appearance: Pours a hazy, orangey body with a small, thin, white head.
Smell: Pale malt nose with notes of light caramel and spicy-scented hops.
Taste: Pale malts, a touch grainy, and with a candyish caramel sweetness. Spicy Noble hoppiness delivers a bit more bitterness than I had expected from the aroma. A nice mingling interplay of malt and hops. Finishes crisp and bittersweet.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent, drinkable, well-balanced brew. While I wouldn’t stop a bottle to save it, I also wouldn’t turn one down.

Nov 1, 2008 12oz bottle. Aroma of Formula 409. Medicinal hop aroma. Hints of pepperoni spice in the nose. Earthy hop flavor. Woody, some creamy malt character. Light bodied. Flavorful for the body. Better as it warms.
