3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20This beer pours with a warm, light orange-amber color and a big, fluffy, sticky head. The aroma provides a nice balance of sweet caramel malt and some light herbal hops. The flavor likewise blends fruity, sweet malts with a bright yet somehow musty combination of hops, and the light effervescence further lightens the flavor profile. Overall, this beer , has a nice earthy quality, but it is at the same time light, bright, sweet, and quite drinkable.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap @ Grumpys NE. Pours a hazy bright orange appearance with an off white head. Soft citrusy, grapefruit, creamy, lightly sweet malty aroma. A bit light but very easy drinking, mild citrusy, a bit fruity, herbal, soft flavor. Easy drinking session ale.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
16 oz can to half-pint glass (shared with the Mrs.; thanks mikem409). Looks good for the style; a hazy orange with thin white head that quickly dissipates into razor-thin lacing. Smells solid; doughy and hoppy with a fairly sweet backbone. Tastes like it smells with some more discernible fruit hops and a solid mouthfeel. A solid example of the style.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bread and slight citrus nose. flavor was really mellow compared to most surly beers I have tasted. Really malty with some hops undertones. Bread and light sweet fruitiness mostly. Not really that bitter.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
1 pint can compliments of ZMDR1975. Hazy orange pour into a perfect pint glass. Nose of bread, earth and some sort of distant spice. Weaker than I would have hoped for on the palate, hardly any carbonation. Flavor of sour dough bread, some floral hops, and herbs. A bit of the bittering hops linger at the finish with a tea-like flavor hovering around. All around, quite average, but pretty drinkable.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Can. Hazy amber orange, with t Arjun white head. Earthy, bready, doughy, and slight caramel aromas. Dry, nicely bitter, doughy and earthy. A well-balanced but interesting ESB. Bit thin in the body, but overall solid.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Appearance golden with a white head. Aroma not much taste thin and not interesting
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a 16 oz can shared at home. Pours a clear gold with a thick white head. Mild hop aroma. Flavors of biscuit. A bit thin. OK, but not great.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Not my favorite Surly brew. Tried this one on tap at Republic Uptown. Biting bitters but without the pleasant aromas that other beers have.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma is light pine, oats, caramel, and English malt. Taste is oat, caramel, English malt, and a nice light piney hop character. Very nice light drinker, lots of flavor for the low abv. Another great surly brew!
