Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a clear golden body and a wispy white head. Aroma of orange and orange zest, and a bit of grassy-ness. Taste is mainly citrus hops and fragrance with light malt. Lively carbonation.

Golden amber with a small head. Nose and flavor of diacetyl, light citrus, sweet malt. Overrun with buttery flavors that ruin this beer for me.

Thanks hophead75. Pours a translucent light amber with a crisp fizzy white head. The nose is sweet, some mild diacetyl, malty, a subdued hop profile with a little citrus character. The flavor is mildly bitter, mildly sweet, some corn shows up, a mild citric hop feel. Mild soft bitterness in the mouth with a low carbonation. An easy drinker.

12oz bottle from goldtwins. Somewhat dark gold pour with a white head. Big grassy aroma. Good hoppiness, a little sweetness, pretty drinkable as well. Not too bad. Thanks Larry

Nice copper/orange coloured body with a small white head. Aroma of fresh hops, good malt, apricots and oranges. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour that lasts for quite a while with a good spicey finish and a malty taste throughout. Aftertaste shows hops and a good malt backbone. Overall, more of a stronger APA, but a decent beer overall. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Oliver’s Beverages in Albany, New York at the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 04-February-2006.
