(12oz bottle, best by January (06?)) Crystal clear light amber body topped by medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, some grapefruit, caramel, light tea. Taste is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, some caramel, light cereal/bread. Light/medium body, light resin, fairly drinkable. Medium bitterness, comes across more as an APA.

12oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium and clear golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of earthiness, spruce/pine, ligth caramel and a trace of citrus. Tastes of citrus, light caramel, and light pine. Tastes on the subtle side compared to the aromas. Thinner body.

Bottle… Misty, light amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. The nose is of black tea, butter and toffee. Moderate to heavy bitterness with notes of tea and clover honey. Medium-bodied and dry with fizzy carbonation. Finishes bone dry. Smells like an English IPA; tastes like an American IPA. Great, refreshing brew!

12 oz bottle. Clear honey-orange, light, just off-white head. Peaches and a hint of cherry in the nose. Soft body, light hoppiness throughout, medium sweetness. Fairly citrusy, fairly malty, fairly dull if drinkable.
