KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA Dec 31, 2008 12oz Bottle: "Lets sprinkle it with fairy dust and wave our magic wands". WTF is that about? They should be embarrassed by that shit. Now that Ive got that out of the way...Super clear golden body with just a wisp of a head. Aroma is slightly bready with citrusy hops. Sweet malt with a bit of citrus in the flavor. Grapefruit hoppiness kind of hits you in the aftertaste. I think Ill bust out my magic wand and make this beer something other than average. Extraordinary my ass... decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Dec 26, 2008 Golden pour with almost gooey lace Aroma was just a hint of hop and thats about all Flavor reminded me of apples at first then shifted to a twangy kinda funk that I really can not describe. Carbonation was a bit aggressive. It had a decent bitter but was over powered by the odd aftertaste. Not one of my favorites from them. i will try it again if I can. BMan1113VR (2758), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Dec 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. I like this beer nearly as much as I like the commercial description (insert sarcasm). Pours with a white head and some lacing over the clear golden body. Aroma of honey, faint hops, fruits and raw malt. Taste is honey, tea, light fruits (melon) and mint. Fizzish mouthfeel. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Dec 7, 2008 Clear gold pour with fluffy white head. Thin bodied. Citrus hop flavor. well balanced and an easy drinker DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Nov 30, 2008 Lots of late hop flavor focusing on mandarin orange. A zesty bitterenss picks up in the end. Quite good! MoDog (910), Griffith, Indiana, USA Nov 29, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This pale ale poured a fairly clear golden amber hue with a thin head of beige foam that settled into a lasting film. Some nice, even lacing was left around the glass. The aroma consisted of mild caramel, dried oranges, and citrus. The flavor included thin malts and faint citrus. A bland mix of caramel and oranges. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had moderate carbonation. Bland and amazingly dull. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 27, 2008 Pours a clear orange color with a small off white head. taste is dry malt slightly toasted and has a very short almost minty finish that leaves the taste of corn and adjuncts in the mouth. Not a fan. satan165 (542), River Grove, Illinois, USA Nov 26, 2008 pretty bold to call this extraordinary, and i am a southern tier fan! their artisan beers in 22s are great at worst but anything in a 12oz bottle is junk. this is the best of the worst, so to speak....lightly hopped but still lacking balance or any real challenge. pours straw yellow, flavors of cereal and other bad lager qualities. weak hops and overly sweet malt. typical poor pale ale. cmon guys! you can do better!
