12oz. Pour is deep amber with a fluffy white head. Aromas of caramel, piney hops, and malt. Flavor is piney hops, yeast, and slight caramel. Nice session brew here.

Tap at the brewery. Strong citrus aroma. Color light, clear orange. Hops present but not overwhelming - orange flavor carries over from the aroma. Body a tad light but very drinkable.

Bottle appreciatively received from ericandersnavy. Dark reddish copper color with a huge beige head. Aromas of roasted caramel and light floral hop. Medium body with prickly carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt, touch of chocolate, and hop bitter. Still seems floral. Solid drink. Lots of flavor.

Sample at May 2009 beer club meeting. Wow... this was better than I thought it’d be. Amber color with a sweet, malty aroma. Light hops and a neat, earthy sweet flavor. The toasted malt is noticeable. Very drinkable...

12 oz bottle much thanks to Soonah. Pours a dark copper with fluffy beige head. The aroma is stale bread, cotton candy, moss, and a spiciness that kind of reminds me of rye. The flavor is mild earthy and spicy hops (I would have guessed EKG even before reading the description), that dull caramel sweetness of British caramel malts, a hint of candy, and some canteloupe. The finish is moderately dry with that same odd rye-ish note that I picked up in the nose. Decent enough for what it is.

Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy – thanks Eric. Pours hazy dark amber with a 2 finger light tan head. The nose is earthy hops, malt and bread dough. The taste is malt, more earthy hops and faint pine in the finish. Medium bodied. An ok pale. Thanks again Eric!

Bottle courtesy Blutt59. Light brown pour with a thin tan head. English style hop aroma (earthy) with a nice touch of malt. Malt, biscuit, and a touch of citrus hops round out the taste. Decent pale ale.
