Nothing spectacular. larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Feb 20, 2009 Draught at Rogue Ales Public House, SF
Orange with a white head.
Pretty cereal aroma with some citrus and flowery hoppiness.
Fruity and hoppy flavour with notes of yeastiness. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Feb 1, 2009 Bottle. Relatively mild hoppy aroma. Hazy orange body, off-white head. Well-balanced taste, mild and bitter. Pleasant and drinkable. SFLpunk (132), South Burlington, Vermont, USA Jan 28, 2009 22oz brown glass pry-top w/out freshness date.
Appearance: A moderately hazy amber/brown with light tan head and no lacing.
Nose: Hop-candy. Pale malty sweetness combined with light citrus and a slight floral note. Candied orange comes to mind.
Palate: Medium-bodied and much more malty than I anticipated. Slick mouth-feel is then overtaken by hop-sharpness on the finish. Medium-caramel malt notes (like an alt) mingle with the citrus qualities of the hops and a little fruitiness from the yeast, and then are taken by the dry, bitter hops, and a little dried cannabis-like note on the finish.
Notes: A slightly off-balance bitter, if only because it seems like it’s just an exaggerated recipe. It’s both big on the fruity notes and big on the bitter. Tasty and sessionable.
