Aug 12, 2007 Bottle from Shawan’s. Poured a brownish gold. Aroma of citrus, fruit, orange and caramel/toffee. Good aroma. Flavor was ok; not overly hoppy, but hoppy for the style. Flavor was similar to the aroma but more bread and biscuit. Palate was slightly off; thin.

Aug 9, 2007 Pours a orangish/brownish pour. Smells great with a fruit aroma. Very subtle flavor with a yeasty malt taste at the end.

Aug 9, 2007 Said to be a cult favorite of some Northeastern craft beer lovers? Hazed apricot body supports a nice creamy offwhite head. Aroma is citrusy with pink grapefruit and orange. Bready malt mixes with a solid citrusy hop bitterness in the taste. Well balanced and tasty, but not an earth mover.

Aug 8, 2007 Out of a mixed 12 pack. Not bad, but not as good as I remember it being the first time I sampled it. Might have been slightly too warm. A little over-bitter, but not horribly out of balance.

Aug 2, 2007 Pale gold in color, citrusy hop aroma. Slightly sweet bitterness, but smooth. Hop levels are about 5 out of 10. Recommended.

Jul 28, 2007 I don’t know. This felt pretty ordinary. Very light colored, like a lager. Not that hoppy or really anything. Kind of boring for a beer, but innocuous I guess.

Jul 24, 2007 355 mL bottle. Colour is copper, with a small head. Strong aroma of cascade hops, which I love, so it’s all good. No statement of alcohol content on the bottle. (Why do Americans DO that?) Taste consiste of a thin malty sweetness, followed immediately by floral (rose) and cirtus (sweet orange, bitter grapefruit) hops. Finish isn’t as bitter as you’d think. A bit thin and oily. Not bad. A poor man’s Tankhouse Ale.

Jul 20, 2007 Mostly golden, mostly clear and mostly dead under a fast-fading white head. Light vegetal notes give way to florals, lemon, light pine and tea. Mild plastic quality to the flavor alongside a grapefruit sour-bitterness. Honey and tea bitters join late and linger. A bit thin and alcohol-dry. Not bad, but it could have used a dash of that fairy dust since I could only detect minor notes of love.
