3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Pours cloudy, pumpkin orange, nice thick head of white foam creeping down the bottle. Very bright, citrusy lemon and orange aroma, floral and sweet at once. Quite bubbly and carbonated to sip, a little harsh to hold in the mouth. Tastes extremely fresh and light, lots of citrus, followed by a solid floral hop punch. Seems to be an almost tobacco note to it, smooths nicely as it warms. Pretty good brew!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: AUG 6, 2009 Fresh bottle. Pours lightly hazy and entirely translucent, pure amber in hue, with a fading, frothy, off-white head. A sudsy, wet wash leaves minimal splatters of lacing behind. The aroma shows toasted bread and lightly sweet biscuit in the malt base, with balancing, hoppy notes of fresh green grassand marigold flowers. A hint of lemonpepper lends some nice spice. Flavors are similarly balanced and easy going, biscuity sweet yet grassy, spicy, and somewhat dry. Medium bodied and balanced, the palate is substantial for the low ABV, yet entirely sessionable. Pretty good for a bitter.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pint bottle. This one didn’t leave much of an impression. It was very drinkable but kinda boring. Really not much character or taste to it at all. Cool bottle thought.
