Draft. Cloudy pale yellow color, large fluffy white head, amazing crazy lacing. Aroma of lemony, peppery perfume and flowers. Taste is bitter dusty straw, pepper, light spice. Fantastic!

Yellow to orange, small head. Super floral, some citrus, basement backbone, some grass. Sharp hops in aroma and taste. Long dry mouth feel. (At the De Molen tasting)

Une pale ale à la mousse bien collante. Au nez, elle est bien citronnée et pleine de notes d’épinettes. Je ne sens pas le seigle tellement les parfums sont fraîchement houblonnés. Au goût, des cultivars bien vivants avec leurs saveurs d’agrumes et de fleurs. La base maltée se présente en notes caramélisées. Ceci dit, elle est plutôt un support qu’une chose bêtement sucrée. En bouche, le liquide présente un corps de moyenne densité avec des bulles qui imaginent un mouvement bien intéressant. La texture crémeuse est très appréciable. La finale expose une amertume teintée par les fleurs et par des choses qui peuvent s’apparenter à du poivre. Une autre belle surprise de ce brasseur ami de Maine Beer Co.

650ml bottle. Aroma is strong and a good balance of hops hitting all the pine, grapefruit, floral and spicy notes. Colour is a hazing pale yellow with a hint of orange. Huge pure white whipped cream head that lasts a long time and leaves ample lacing. Taste is mostly hops, but not too bitter. Light citrus tang and malt sweetness. Body is very light and dry. Overall, a very good American pale ale. If you are a fan of the style I would recommend it.

22oz bottle. Pours golden with a white head, decent lacing and alot of sediment at the bottom of the pour (be careful). Big hop aroma. Notes of grapefruit, pine, pepper and rye. I would not consider this a pale ale but I do consider it delicious. If you are a hop head and don’t mind bitter, this is a good one.

On tap at Barleyfest - Hadley, MA. Really solid and bring citrus and tropical pine aroma. Lovely lupulin. Prickly flavors of hops and pale malt lend a really clean and fresh edge to this beer. Balance, delightfully flavorful in hops, and complex in the malt build. Really, really nice.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2012 Fresh bottle. Pours a orange amber hue with a soft white head. Notes of bright citrusy, grapefruit, pine hops. Touch of resin. Nice and juicy. Pleasant clean toasted nut and rye malt back. fair amount of dry somewhat astringent resin kicks in as it warms. Dry mouthfeel. Clean well made tasty beer. Like it.
