natejgood (189), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 24, 2008 Pours a hazy, medium golden color with a decent head that builds from the bottom. Has an aroma of crisp hops with hints of flowers and citrus. This beer has a clean, hoppy flavor, but the hops aren’t overpowering. It definitely leaves a bit of a bitter taste on the edges of the tongue, but not in a bad way. AndyReynolds (280), Wilder, Kentucky, USA Sep 24, 2008 Pours a lovely golden-orange color with a half inch white head. Nice lacing on glass as head disappears. Aroma is strong with piney hops, but it also has nice notes of citrus, perhaps grapefruit stands out the best. The taste is about the same, a notes of grass comethrough in the bitter aftertaste. Very balanced and very good. heynik1885 (53), tonawanda, New York, USA Sep 23, 2008 pours a nice golden color, with a small white head, some lacing on glass. Strong hoppy, flowerey smell, taste is the same, bitterness is perfect, well balanced, very refreshing. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Sep 23, 2008 Been drinking a ton of this lately. Copper pour with a big white head. Aroma of floral hops and a bit of pine/citrus. Flavor is nicely bitter but not harsh. Full palate and smooth. EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA Sep 21, 2008 This hazy amber and orange brew may be the most balanced beer of this type I have tasted. The sweet and the dry, the sour and the bright, hops and citrus, spice and pine, flowers and malt. Nothing stands out, just an incredibly pleasing beer to drink. "Note to self, I must be defective, I prefer a beer no so well balanced, something that grabs me one way or another." BillWyce (90), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2008 Pours cloudy amber with a strong hops
aroma with a citrus note in the background. Smooth palate with a
slight creaminess from the head. Lots
of hops bitterness but not overpowering. some spiciness in the
flavor too. Another excellent brew from
this west coast brewery. KimJohansen (6678), Copenhagen V, Denmark Sep 19, 2008 Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with citric, piney and hoppy notes. Sweet and hoppy flavour that develops likewise with a solid bitter finish demdeac40 (238), Etowah, North Carolina, USA Sep 17, 2008 Pours a nice dark gold with a touch of amber. Small but lasting off white head. Big nose, sweet candied citrus, a little pine and bananas. OMG, beautiful. Big hop flavor but great balance, nice bitterness but not to over the top. I could drink a few of these.
