bottle. Pours a hazy light orange color, thick foamy inch of head, enough active carbonation to keep it around. Muted, bready aroma, some light sweetness, and some faint floral hop notes. Flavor shows some light spiciness, smooth sweet biscuits, and some crisp citrus. Flavor shows much improvement over the nose. Palate is also good- light, crisp, and clean. Overall, a pretty good pale with superb drinkability.

Nice floral hop aroma,,,, Golden orange in color... Light smooth flavor, with a nice bitterness that intensifies on the palate... Still not overly bitter, a nice and very drinkable beer... Not bad.

Pours clear gold with copper core and frothy-frumpy off white head. The aroma seems inviting with sweet malts, biscuit and soft citrus notes. The taste begins with a rush of sweet malts, biscuit like malts and a citrus note or two hitting all at once. By midway and into the finish grapefruit hop bitterness comes to the surface and grows to the point of taking over the flavor. Nice pale with near chewy malts and assertive hops.

This stuff is gold. Spent a lazy Saturday afternoon drinking 3 bottles of this and they all went down extremely easy. Pours out a solid medium gold color, 2" fluffy white head and low carbonation. Aroma is floral hops, some apples, and a bit of citrus. As it warms, the citrus and pine become a little more pronounced. Flavor has a nice balance between apples/pears and citrus/hops. Don’t get much caramel malts, mostly just sweet fruit to keep the hops in check. Enjoyable.
