Comments: Straightforward American hops dominate this otherwise fairly strawy and soapy palate. Not bad, but they have many better ones.
downender (1614), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Oct 4, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Slightly cloudy golden in colour with a slight white head. Light aroma of fruity malt and grassy hops. Easy drinking with some sweetish malt, citrus hops and a short dry finish. Good. shp555 (1377), lilburn, Georgia, USA Dec 11, 2007 Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is light malt, citrus, and a hint of yeast. Flavor is some citrus with a light bitter finish. Jukkabro (2394), Tampere, Finland Aug 24, 2007 Golden colored, medium sized yellow head. Lemony, yet nicely hopped fruity aroma, let’s say American aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is also crispily hopped, lemon and some sour tones in start. Ending turns to bitter with American hops, still rather sweet and fruity. TBone (5116), Pori, Finland Jul 27, 2007 Draught@brewpub, Vienna
Golden color steady creamy white head. Aroma of Cascade hops. Balanced malt profile, not very aggressive hopping. Good session beer. Propably their goal has been SNPA, this is lighter version of it.
