Bottled. Pours a light amber with a lacy cream-colored head. The aroma has some citrus and a smidgeon of toffee. The taste had a bigger hop presence than I expected, and also has some toffee and fruit. Dry pine and grapefruit finish. Crisp and refreshing.

12oz bottle: smells almost exactly like sierra nevada pale ale, perhaps the same yeast i think or hops. something is amiss with this brew, i think. or perhaps i got a bad bottle. anyway, nothing to write home about, but if you can find nothing better give it a try. i’d rather have their moose drool any day..

Bottle poured a clear yellow with a small diminishing white head. Aromas of bread, straw and earthiness. Palate was light bodied. Flavors of bread, an unappealing earthiness and some grassiness with an annoying dry bitter finish.

Golden color with no head. Aroma and flavors of sweet bready malt and hops, Medium body, pleasant yet uninspiring beer.

Bottle: Clear gold colorr with really no head. Crism wheat and yeast malty aromas. Refreshing taste, pretty light, but not offensive. A slight soap aftertaste, but not too bad. Lots of carbonation and a pretty good summer brew.

Bottle. Pours a pale gold with a small patchy white head, lasts, some spotty lacing. Aroma is soapy, sour yeast and malt (grain, cereal) with fruity hops. Yeasty medium bitter and acidic hop flavor, finish is soapy and sweaty. Light bodied and fizzy palate.

Bottle. Pours a golden honey color with white head. The aroma is mostly grain with a little bit of leather and cleaning chemicals. The flavor is harsh hops with some mellow malt under it. The finish is slightly cardboardy. I can drink this, but I’m not much of a fan.

Golden pour with a small white head that lasted nearly half the glass. Taste is like the aroma, citrus and light hops. There is also a touch of fruity tones and maltiness present. Drinkable, but not noteworthy.
