Pours cloudy amber/orange color with thin off white head. Aromas of pine and citrus with the same flavors to follow. Leaves a slightly bitter taste.

The aroma of this beer is hoppy despite how subtle it is, and the appearance is a hazy golden color with a small white head. The taste is mildly bitter and a touch sweet, and the palate combines a medium body, slick texture, bitter finish, and a soft carbonation.

Pours a hazy copper with a small white dusting on top. Aroma is mild pine hop flavours with sweet malt and a small honey. Taste is light pine bitterness with bready malt and earthy notes.

bottle dated 2/4/13 from Georges Buffet, Iowa City A-Light Amber, slight orange hue A-Grassy hop aroma, a little lemon T-moderate sweet malt, some biscuit in there also, earthy and grassy hop flavor with mild bitterness finishing P-Crisp body, medium carbonation and spice O-Nice balance with sweet malts and hops. Plays nicely with each other. I like the moderate grassy aroma to introduce me to the beer.

Aromas of citrusy, floral, and grassy hops. Orange-amber with a mostly lasting, off-white head. Dry and bitter. Light, crisp, and clean, with a hoppy finish.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a clear medium copper with a one finger white head. Really good head retention along with some decent splotches of lacing. Plenty of carbonation is evident with as long as the head stays there. Aroma is a good balance of citrus and pine leaning more towards the citrus in the form of orange zest and a little bit of lemon. Some light aromatic pine notes along with a hint of caramel. The flavor seems a little bit unbalanced and too bitter, almost astringent. A little metallic up front but that quickly fades then an orange peel flavor that lends a very orange peel-like bitterness. A farily hefty dose of pine resin along with some light caramel and bread. Overall, I’m a little torn by this one. It is fairly easy drinking but the astringent bitterness can be a little much after awhile. Probably not something i will pick up very often.

Middle of the road for my taste. Slightly bitter, lingering piney and floral aftertaste. Wish it had more malt distinctiveness.
