SQNfan (476), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Apr 16, 2008 Golden in color tending toward the orange side and poured a head of thick bubbles. Crisp and dry aromas of citrus fruits, grass and a touch of caramel and spice. The flavors from the nose continued into a medium-bodied beer that was also crisp and dry. The palate had very little carbonation and just came off as flat and rather dull.
The_Beer_God (2856), Newport News, Virginia, USA Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Golden pour with a tall rocky, foamy white head. Aroma is hoppy and malty with citrus fruit, light caramel, sweet malts, and flowery notes. Taste is hoppy but sweet. Sweet malt, light caramel, pineapple, orange, apricot and light pine. Some graininess as well. Body is light-medium with an abundance of carbonation but not quite to the fizzy stages. Ends with bigger hops and fruit notes. More orange and pineapple, bits of melon, sweet malt, some toasted grain, and floral notes. Not bad. Snojerk321 (1021), San Diego, California, USA Oct 4, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a medium golden color with a creamy white head......great lacing. Nose was lightly funky with some citrus hop and wheat notes. Flavor had some tree fruits (apricots, peaches) with some hops. Light in body, a good brew, not Extraordinary by any means. rederic (1444), montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 3, 2008 Bright yellow gold color, with an off-white head, sweet pale, toasty malt, fruity nose of candied peaches and pineapples, and a light floral hop citrusy in tha aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasty, caramel malt, peachy, orange flowery hop character, with some honeyed pale male accents, and a hint of minty leafiness, leading towards a fruity, citrusy hop bitterness finish. TOSG55 (40), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Sep 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear strawish yellow-orange, with a bit of head. Nice, though somewhat soapy, aroma of honey-sweet malts and a touch of hops. The flavor is very bready, with a light hoppiness and some sweet malts. Not bad, but wholly unremarkable. jeff789 (56), Pennsylvania, USA Sep 25, 2008 This is a great session beer, maybe better if the abv was slightly lower... You get a hit of citrusy hops on the front end balanced out nicely with a slighly sweet malty finish... Not much to speak of on the finish in terms of a lingering hop presence, which i think makes this an excellent session beer... Why oh why did you put a raspberry wheat ale in your variety pack southern tier, why??
