Re-rate...Draft at RFD in D.C., March 2006... Clear, yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Fruity, grainy aroma with notes of apple, wheat and lemon. Thin flavor, but well-balanced and refreshing. Fruity and lightly tart. Light-bodied and fizzy. Finishes crisp and dry... Original rating... Draft at Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005... Clear, straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Lemon, bread, bubblegum and orange blossom honey in the nose. Nicely hopped. Light-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, medium bittter finish.

Bottle from Capone’s. Deep gold pour with 2-finger off-white head. Aroma of Saazy hops, citrus, pale malt, some funky yeasty notes. Tastes pale malty, with citrus, hops, and mild fruity notes.

2004 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.
