Jun 16, 2009 Sample at the Troegs and Dark Horse tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 6/5/09. Clear amber pour with a medium tan head. Citrus hop aroma with some malt thrown in. Earthy and citrusy hop flavor with a nice malt balance. I actually prefer this to the Nugget Nectar.

Jun 16, 2009 Amber hue with tan creamy head, decent lacing, sweet smell, not much spice and very faint hop, carmel aftertaste, nice balance, relatively light body but that seems to be Troegs characteristic, but this is refreshing one.

May 23, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a mini pilsner glass. The beer pours a solid copper color, with a white head. Aromas of American hops are prevalent in the nose. Given the fact that it was an American Amber Ale, I was expecting some sort of combination of citrusy hops and caramel malt; and was reinforced in this expectation after reading the commerical description. While the hops were right there on the palate, providing smooth bitterness and a nice flavor, I found the malt portion of the palate to be essentiallky non-existent. At best, there was a slight touch of caramel; but less of a note than one would expect in this style. Overall, a nice beer that is good for 80 degree days, but one that is just a bit of crystal malt short of being great.

May 21, 2009 I get barely any discernible aroma, just a little bit of caramel. Very clear tawny, pretty light color. Maybe I got an old bottle. Tastes fine, but light and a touch of caramel and leather in the finish. Not many hops, finishes clean and absent of any real flavor. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just very neutral and inoffensive on all sides.

May 19, 2009 Nice medium amber color with a big off white head. Nice looking pour. Nice hoppy nose. Big notes of pine with some decent citrus mixed in. Creamy mouthfeel with a nice touch of caramel sweetness before finishing with that big hoppy bitterness. Good beer.

Very great nose thats citrusy and piney, but really well balanced. a very refreshing beer for the summer months ahead.
