@Earth-on tap-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is spice hops, secondary light malt. Taste is spice/some citrus rind hops, dry, secondary light malt.

A lightly hazed golden amber ale with a thick lacing white head. Very nice pungeant aroma of floral hops, sweet oranges, classic. In mouth, a nice hoppy pale ale with good floral hops, light grapefruits, biscuitty, a bit lacking in malt, very British. On cask at the People’s Real Ale Fest, Clarke’s Ale House, April 30 2010.

On tap at Capone’s. Poured a medium and hazy amber color with an averaged sized, frothy, off white head. Aromas and tastes of pine, floral, a little bready, and toasty.

Draft 1Q at Victory. Pours hazy dark straw with 1-f ow head. Nose is piney hops, pale malt, tangerine, some peppery notes, and a hoppy, piney, crisp fllavor with well integrated pale malt and slight late funk. Well balanced and a nice beer that I hope they continue to male and even bottle.

Tap at Victory. Poured a light amber with a medium, white head that had excellent retention and excellent lace. Very good hoppy APA nose. Grassy hops abounding with some perfume and a little corn. Taste is oatmeal, buttery malt-forward with a dry, bitter, grassy hop aftertaste that is long and drying. Would be a killer session beer.

On tap at the Blind Tiger’s Victory event. Pours a clear light amber with a medium sized white head, almost watery in appearance. Nutty caramel and malt. Faint hops. Very creamy carbonation, malty, earthy hops. Super dry and bitter, quinine and grapefruit.

Draft. Pours an amber body with an off white head and thin retention. Hoppy body grass, citrus note a bit woody. light grapefruit rinds and earth toned dryness. Enjoyable.

Tap at Victory. Pours a ridiculously light golden - very clear- and nice lasting pure white head- some lace. Aroma is mostly spicy earthy and grassy hops with a light citrus kick- very light crackery dough malts. Flavor is also pretty light overall- esp for 5.5%? Light crackery malts, ok earthy grassy citrus hops, and a very very clean lightly bitter finish. Seemed too refined, and too dumbed down- lower on hops and malt than expected or wanted. Smooth and easy drinking though.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2010 Draught at Capone’s (Citra): Crystal malt, caramel malt, citra hops, and a hint of grains. Appearance: Poured amber in color with a large, creamy, dense, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of malt, hops, slight citrus, and slight grains. Palate: Medium body. Slightly tingly, then lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Malt and hop finish is medium bitter and lightly dry. A decent but average APA.

Lightly hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, tangerine, peach, herbal, grass, and some honey malts. Taste of citrus fruits, tangerine, tropical fruits, some sweeter caramel malts, and a bitter, grapefruit finish.
