3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Another nice offering from Yazoo and Blues. Pours a semi hazy copper colour with a medium sized white head. Aroma is fruity- with fresh hops (west coast?) and subtle pine. Taste is very pleasent, soft and creamy- not too hoppy (which i was hoping for) but full and citrusy with a very smooth caramel finish. Very nice!

Reviewed 1/29/2009 (bottled Week 2 Sep):
Pours a very clear golden amber colored body, with a creamy white head, and good lacing. Has a pilsnery malty aroma. A pilsnery taste, grainy. I do not like that taste in my beer. Fresh but the grain taste turns me off.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
From a 12 oz. bottle sent to me from a friend in TN. Aroma is spicy citrusy, a slight lime/pineapple aroma, slightly yeasty. deep golden color, clear with a little sediment from the bottle with a thin white head, egg-white foamy. Up front is hop flavor and bitterness followed by the malt which is bready with a little toasty biscuit. Malt is not too sweet and has some depth that is a little overpowered by the sharp hop flavor. Drinkable but slightly out of balance.

Near clear golden light amber pour with petri dish off-white head. Fruity hop nose. Hint of earthy smokiness in the flavor. Sweet hop finish with a small bite.

on tap-pours a rich thin white head with lots of lace and yellow/gold color. Aroma is mild citrus-lemon hops. Taste is mild citrus-lemon hops/slight bitter, balanced medium malt-sweet. Smooth, easy.

Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting at Dogbricks on 12/4/08. Ran out of porters, so we moved on to whatever else was in the house. Pours a clear gold with a minimal white head. Dank and malty aroma that is overly acidic. Flavor is pretty much the same. Not a fan of this one.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting on 12/4/08: This brew is a clear orange color that has a rosy hue. Thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is hoppy with a touch of citrus. Medium-bodied with a flavor that is a case study in Amarillo hops, as that is more or less the only flavor aside from a bit of malt. The finish is clean and hoppy with a short hops and fruit aftertaste. Just average overall.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft. The hops in this APA are overshadowed by sweet malts. Copper/amber color with short, white head. The aroma is grainy with a hint of grass and lemon. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet. The finish is lightly bitter. Medium body and watery to sticky texture. Lively carbonation. Off-balance throughout.
