Draft to taster. Looks solid; a transparent copperish-orange with white lacing. Smells and tastes of mild hops and caramel malt with an average mouthfeel. Alright, but forgettable.

Pours a clear, amber-gold, with small, fast-dissipating head. A rather muted hop aroma. Flavor is an almost equal mixture of hops and malt, neither one taking the forefront. Very smooth beer with a clean mouthfeel and bitter finish. Almost like a light version of their Zombie Dust.

0.355l bottle bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. Slowly popping up from the bottle this one pours a light cloudy honey colored body, packed with particles and floaters and a heavy massive and lacing fluffy off-white head. Smells quite nice. It’s malty with a small acidity, citrus, honey, ripe hermetic fruits and candy. Not bad at all. The taste is a bit suspicious at first. Almost sour-acidic and a bit alco dry. It’s average carbonated and it has a mild oily mouthfeel. More fruits in the taste, more honey, some woody almost vanilla like tones. Ends with sour citrus, glazed caramel and some near alcohol thingy in the aftertaste. Interesting stuff. 22.08.2012

Bottle. Unclear orange amber with a small lasting off white head that leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is melon, peach, tangerine, soap with a mild caramel and toffee in the background. Taste is light+ sweet, light+ bitter. Medium body, thin/oily texture, soft+ carbonation. Finishes slight dry with lingering caramel and toffee.

Format: Tap, Quantity: 2, Food: Roasted veg Pizza, I found the aroma weak in my location, (farmers market), but floral, and citrus notes did come out to compete with all the food around me. The light body was a good pairing with my veg pizza. You could drink a lot of these if you wanted to or had the time. I didn’t. I will buy more to take home.

Aroma is light pine, citrus, caramel/bread-like malts and a small hint of sweetness. The flavor is citrus, caramel malts, an undercurrent of tart fruit/berries, a hint of tropical fruit and a tangy/bitter finish.

12 oz. bottle to pint glass, thanks RudiNicole. Pours slightly cloudy orange with a small tint of amber to her, quarter inch of lasting head that leaves a very small amount lacing as it goes down. Nose is quite nice on this, really jungle fruity and slightly dank. Carbonation is mild and the mouthfeel is thin without detracting from the flavor profile of the beer. Hop level is a nice little love bite on the front palate moving across the palate it goes towards a little malty sweetness and the virtually disappears, leaving just a little malty aftertaste. This would be my summer disc golf pounder if I could get it all the time. This really drinks like a session pale more than an amber. Wtg fff omg lol like I’m totally loving this.

12oz bottle poured into glass. Light amber color, slightly golden hue/tint to it. Aroma has notes of light hops and slight citrus. Not sure how fresh this bottle was but nothing really seemed to jump out at me from the get go. That being said it’s still pretty tasty and worth a shot.
