Sample from city wide in S. Bend. Hazy gold pour. Floral and light caramel aroma. Grassy citrus hops and light pine. Long bitter finish. Overly grainy

Bottle courtesy of shawnm213. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a thin white head. Smells of earth, some caramel, light spice. Tastes of earth, tea, light resin, some peppery hints.

12oz bottle poured on the brewtour last Saturday. Poured a clear golden orange with grapefruit and light pine notes on pale malts. Similar flavors that fade quick with a finish that’s somewhat grassy, though this should be quite fresh.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with BBB63. Pours a cloudy dull gold with a moderate, dense white head that lasted through to the end of the glass and left partial lacing. Weak floral aroma. The flavor starts out slightly sweet but is quickly overtaken by a sharp acidic flavor that tingles the sides of the tongue. Tastes slightly metallic. Long bitter finish that lingers beyond the swallow. Not very good.

cloudy gold with an off-white head. aroma of citrus, perhaps a little pine. bitter hop taste, with a trace of sour. finish is a bit weak. watery mouth feel. not a bad effort, but not strong enough for a great pale ale.

12oz, no date. Pours a clear golden orange with a minimal off-white head, and doesn’t rouse to much more than that after being agitated. Caramel and lighter cotton candy dominate the aroma with just a little sweaty citrus and pine in the background. Flavor is mainly caramel with some pine bitterness coming through towards the finish. Bitterness peaks at a 3. Light carbonation (too light) with a light to medium body. Not that great.

Thanks for sharing, Mark. The body is medium hazy gold with an off white head. The aroma is musty dandeilons with wood and perfume. There is also a little bit of grapefruit. The taste has some grapefruit ridn with some bitter bread crust. There are also some peanuts. A decent APA.
