beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Dec 28, 2004 Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor of grapefruit, floral hops and caramel. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Good pale ale, nice fresh hops. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Dec 20, 2004 Clear, bright, peachy color, good, 1/2" froth atop, fluffy, creamy.
Aroma: ah! Piney, hoppy, citic, grapefruity a bit, ...let’s sniff again, ...ah!!! That’s what I want in a pale ale, especially a dry-hopped PA, big, vibrant, fresh hops! One more time....Mmmm!!! Yeah!
Taste: Great, big hop blitz on the tongue, nicely fruity, but drying out, to be sure, awash in peach, tangerine, apricot, buzzing with hops. Medium bodied, tasty texture, long, happy finish. Mmmm! Fruits, and hops, and everything, just never quit here, really give it their all, all the way! Feels juicier and even more flavorful as we continue the drink. Ah!. I have to say it again, regretful of repeating myself, but I’m rather delighted at finding a note-perfect PA here from this little Vermont concern. Good job, Otter Creek KarmanGhia (276), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Dec 17, 2004 Updated: Mar 16, 2005Definite cascade hops are in the aroma, and the beer pours a light and clear copper. This beer is a bit too thin bodied, but the initial hops are tasty and pleasantly bitter with light piney fruitiness. There’s not much more than the hops however...This is a good beer, but its not so great for the style. cfranz (261), Acton, Massachusetts, USA Nov 25, 2004 Kind of pale (duh) amber color, nice thick white head. I enjoyed the hops - found it nicely balanced to the gentle sweetness of the beer. I found it quite drinkable. YourDarkLord (1800), Urbana, Illinois, USA Nov 24, 2004 Amber body with weak white head. Faint notes of citrus to the nose. Light bodied, thin. Mild hopiness to the taste. A very mediocre beer. GonZoBeeR (2155), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Nov 20, 2004 nez:houbler d’amertume
Gout:amertume,houblon et malt en fin de bouche
