| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 28, 2009 Smell is mostly light toasty grain and slightly sour citrus. Flavor is very bland biscuity with the carbonation floating an apricot spritz around your mouth, ending with the sour citrus again. Mouthfeel is balanced throughout temp but comes off slimy as it warms. Weird to me, I don’t hate it but can’t imagine buying it again. Thanks Avery. 2009 12 oz.

Flavor is bready malt, a bit of apple fruitiness, and some light grassy hop. Will have to try this one again as it is listed as a spring seasonal. jcwattsrugger (5443), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 11, 2009 Nice clear golden brown color. Two finger off-white head that leaves some nice lacing.
Spicy citrus notes are all but overpowered by bubblegum scents. A tiny bit of malt pokes through.
A small bit of spice notes right up front give way to the bubblegum/citrus flavor combo and are then followed by a light hoppy bite at the end.
Nice and creamy with a great carbonation level.
Could be a good session beer. I would have a problem with the hoppy bite it has, but could probably get around it, as it is minimal.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 2, 2009 12-oz bottle. Stiff white head. Aroma light. Flavor to match aroma. Understated. Light flavor. Mild apricot/honey up front blending into rather sour citrus taste. Dandelion finish. Pleasant but unmemorable.
