Aug 8, 2007 Pours a pale amber color with clarity and an average, white, mostly lasting, fluffy, rocky head with some nice lacing. Nose is simple but pleasant; mostly restrained grapefruit citrus with floral undertones and a sweet, biscuity malt presence. Similar flavor with sweet, biscuity malt notes, almost like honeyed cornbread, and lightly citrus hops followed by some mild floral/herbal bitterness creating amoderate bitterness by the finish. Palate is fitting; moderately light, lively, and somewhat crisp but a little watery. Finishes short and mostly bitter with herbal notes and light citrus. A nice American twist on an English beer. Fairly aggressive for the style but very drinkable nonetheless; just enough character to keep it interesting.

Aug 2, 2007 Not a bad bitter. Rather piney hops with floral undertones in the aroma. A tiny bit cardboardy on the finish, but, other than that, solid.

Jul 28, 2007 Hazy and golden, WAY too much carbonation, bottle exploded upon opening!
After cleaning up the mess, I returned to sniff the beer: smells like celery and melted hard candy. The SESSION description is apt. This beer is on par with Macro brews... I know Avery has so much to offer, but I’m not sure what went wrong here. Adam Avery must’ve been in Belgium when this was brewed.
