Massive citrus hops aroma, quite a surprise. Pours amber, flat head. Taste medium bitterness, Being tasting so many average beers its good to get one above the average. Oily Texture, It’s an abrupt finish, but enjoyable while it lasted.

Bottle- Pours a a rich amber color with a good head that fades to nice lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine with some malt sweetness in the background. Taste of mild pine with an easy malt sweetness and bit of spice. Mild bitterness and a clean finish. Medium body, smooth with a bit of character. Nicely balanced. A quality Pale Ale, good for a few. Worth checking out.

Bottle. A pleasing citrus hop aroma, nice malt undertones and nice hop bitterness throughout and finishes with a lovely lingering hop bitterness.

One I’ve tried a few times with differing results. Definitely comes across as one that’s better quaffed fresh at the brewery as the hops don’t quite pull off what they set out to achieve.
5 on 5 for appearance. Radiant and shimmering, fiery copper body with minute flecks of proteins in suspension. Very fine, intermittent carbonation holds steady a two-finger, dense and satiny smooth, off-white crown that manages some solid lace-work. Sticky, sweet toffee and cereal-like toasted malts dominate the aroma with a grassy and citrus fruit edge. Quite grainy, dry and cereal-like on first sip. Citrus is reserved to the bitter side, like under-ripe oranges and lime zest. Assertively bitter, herbal, dry and grassy finish to it drops off without a trace. Yeasty also, mildly sulphurous but nothing too alarming. Shows good balance, a light body and moderate carbonation. Easily knock back a few without too much effort.

Pour a clear amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma is cirtus hops. Taste is also citrus, light fruits leading to a modest bitter finish. Slightly watery. Overall, not bad.

Pours nicely with a solid white head and a rich copper tone. Not a strong head retention. Nice aroma and strong orange-like taste on top of mouth. Seems more like American pale ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Opaque amber pour with a small beige head. Rather sweet nose on this one. Candy and floral hops with a touch of citrus. Citrus in the taste with sweet candy and sweet toffee behind it all. Surprisingly has decent length. Pretty average

Bottle - Pale amber with a creamy white head. Sweet candy and flowery hop aroma. Dry Orange and flowery taste up front with a lingering bitter hop finish. Nice creamy palate.

UPDATED: MAR 17, 2012 330mL bottle pours golden with a creamy lasting head and an amazing sweet lemon/lime aroma. This is my re-rate of this beer and i’m so glad i decided to try it again because its blowing me away. The sweet citrus flavours are backed by some quality malts. The best before on this bottle is 3.1.12 so i’m guessing its only 1-2 months old.

33cl pours completely clear, copper coloured, minimal white head, but some lace. moderately carbonated. strong aroma of hops, with a hint of citrus. some maltiness. drinkable.
