Pours a cloudy amber with a two finger white head, lots of lacing. Smells like hops, caramel, and orange blossoms. Has a real wild flower honey sweetness, with some citrus and lots of hops. This has a very thick mouth feel, which I like a lot, and the after taste lingers on the tongue with a honey like texture. Loads of hops give this a dry clean finish, but it is not extremely hoppy, but balanced with a complex sweetness. This is one of my favorite Pale Ales to date.

Copper pour with a nice head. Sweet smell of fruit and pine. Nice hoppy, piney bitterness that is balanced nicely with the malt flavor. A very drinkable pale ale but I wasn’t as blown away with it as I thought I would be.

355ml bottle. Cloudy amber with small lacing white head. Nice aroma from carame malt and bitter hop. Well balanced taste, integrating malt, fruit, grass. Increasing fresh citrus sourness ’til finish. Nice.

Sweet cascade aroma. Amber color. Mild off white colored head. Mellow citrus taste. Sour in the middle that drys towards the finish. Has a faint sweetness throughout. Nice brew overall.

(12 oz) Un liquide orangé et embrouillé. Une mousse qui s’effondre et qui laisse des traces sur le verre. Un nez doux de jus d’orange et d’herbes avec du beurre et des malts mielleux. Des saveurs légèrement maltées avec des houblons fruités et résineux qui prennent un léger avantage. Une bouche qui offre un corps moyen-mince avec un pétillement doux et une texture très légère. Une finale qui offre une amertume résineuse de moyenne intensité.

Bottle from Chester Beer & Wine. Dark orange pour with a middling yet persistent tan head. Fragrant nose of fruits, sweet malt and piney hop. Fullish mouthfeel. Flavour wise, the caramel malt, hop balance tilted slightly in flavour of the malts, but still retained some reserved but decent grassy hop bitterness and some pleasant fruitiness. Overall this is a solid if unspectacular brew.

(Drought) Pours deep amber red witha creamy off-white head. The aroma holds strawberry jam up front with undertones of mild citrus, light wood and robust toasted, light caramelly malt. The mouthfeel is light sweet to dry, medium bitter and tiny acidic. Citric, floral, light fruity, bready, toasted and a whisper of dry caramel. The mouthfeel clean and a bit round with a light to medium carbonation. Mild resinous, earthy and citric finish. Near medium bodied.

Citrus hop aroma. Bitter throughout. Caramel malt and piney hops. amber color. very good flavor.
