Red brown. Nice foamy head leaving lacings as you drink. Flowers and citrus from the hops in the nose. Rather mild bitterness with a reasonable maltiness and pronounced flowery taste with some grapefruit.

22 oz. bottle. Pours cloudy dark amber color with thin off white head. Decent lacing as I drank. Kind of a tart aroma, reminds me of chewable vitamin C I used to eat as a kid. Very mild Bitter tastewise. I can drink this on a nice hot day. Very mild hop taste, decent malt body. Thin on the palate. No aftertaste. I like Brutal better.

Mildly spicy and citrus hop aroma. Cloudy amber with a thumb thick head. Easy drinking ale with a mild hop presence medium malt body and somewhat thin palate. Decent enough.

Pours hazy dark orange with a foamy off-white head. Creamy and malty aroma with some spicy hints and orange notes - nice and balanced. Malt and hop flavor with a dry and dusty edge. Pretty light in the taste and a bit thin, but easy drinkable. Hmmm.....

An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is OK hoppy, while the flavor is dry hoppy, and the body is thin. OK, but I had expected more, so I’m somewhat disappointed.

Bottled: Light amber coloured. Unclear. Beige head. Has this spruce needle aroma you find in many of these hoppy american beers. Not that it by any meens is unpleasent, but beers tend to be very similar. Oh well. Herbs, some fruity and loads of malts in the aroma. Flavour is herbal and malty with some vague choco notes. Is light fruity with a bitter touch in the end.
