10/8/12. On tap at the brewpub. Clear orange pour with a decent off-white head and nice lacing. The aroma shows crackers and light hoppiness. The flavor is much the same with crackers, very light hops, pale malts, and a weird off medicinal aspect. Eh.

Draft. Another beer that surpassed my low expectation. Orange pour with a lacing white head. Grassy scent. Taste is lightly bitter and grassy.

Caramel orange, whitish spotty lacing. Grassy hop aroma, caramel. Taste is more grassy, spicy hop, light bitter, caramel.

On tap at the Ragtime brewpub. The server claimed this was an 8% beer. Hmm. Pours copper with thin white head. The aroma is nice with citrus and pine hops as well as some malt sweetness. The taste has a modest hoppy pine and citrus bitter bite up front with sweet malts soon following behind. The hop bitterness persists at this modes level revealing a touch of astringency now and then. Nice stuff.

Tap @ brewpub. pours copper, white head. Aroma of pine and hops, some malts. Flavor, hoppy with some citrus, pine elements and faint grapefruit. Light dark malt mouthfeel with a light spicy bitter hoppy finish.

Golden light colour. Herbal, citrusy hop nose. Crisp hops on the palate. Light malt with a hint of caramel.

Coppery gold and clear. Has a little dirty dishrag aroma. Earthy hops. Quaffable, low carbonation. Good earthy pale, handily hopped, but fairly balanced. Leafy. Not bad at all.

on tap-pours a rich off white head and gold color. Aroma is citrus-lime/grapefruit. Taste is copper/citrus-lime rind hops with some bite, then a slightly syrupy light/medium malt sneaks in briefly. Comes across as a hybrid American/English PA, althoughthe variance could be from cluster or similar. Still a nice beer.

clear gold, fine off white head, lots of lace like winter ice on a window pane, sweet crystal malt aroma with balancing citrus hops, lots of citrus hop flavor backed by sweet crystal malt, a touch of skunk weed character in the hop flavor, a nice bitterness rises in the middle and lasts through a long but tempered bitter finish,

On tap at the brewpub. Light amber with a white head. Mild lemon and grapefruit citrus nose, some pine, light caramel. Solid caramel malt flavors slightly overshadowed by a citrus and pine bitter. Very drinkable - nice.
