Aug 28, 2004 Updated: Oct 31, 20072004 bottle. Pours a bottle conditioned, mildly hazy vibrant golden-yellow with some touches of orange. Big foamy white head. Aroma has hints of fresh leafy, soily hops. A lovely fresh and very light citrus aroma is subtle on the nose as well. Flavor is of herbal-like hops, minty, leafy and quite flavorful. Moderate sweetness from the light barley malt and a very pleasing palate; lightly bubbly, good chewy texture, wonderful crisp, if not a bit spicy finish. Very fresh tasting. Not a watery light example of the style.

On tap at the Black Cow tap and Grill in Hamilton, MA. Draft. Pours a pale gold, clear, with a good amount of white head. very little lacing. Aroma is of a dry straw/hay hops, with maybe a touch of spice. Very dry flavor throughout, body remains medium but lightens up as it warms. Starts out with a very crisp straw hops flavor, light hay, and lots of lemon. Malt is ever so slightly present but never really comes out. Finish is rather bland, dry, lackluster. The hops profile is decent and at least there is a hint of malt, the spiciness is good, but way too much lemon, and a weird sugary thing going on in the finish.
