Very hoppy ale. Got it as part of a beer club. Pretty good. Deep Orange in color. Pretty good. I enjoyed it.

This is a nice mellow ale. I’d like to give it higher marks for appearance, but wow - it was a really light color - looked like a lght macro - otherwise, it had a nice fluffy head and decent, if somewhat clear, lacing. Taste was sweet and medium bodied with a mellow dry finish. It seemed that you could drink quite a few of these and not feel overly full or intoxicated.

Color’s a clear, honeyish gold, head is thick, fluffy white. Aroma is unusually sweet, with notes of honey and flowers. Right up front, a huge wave of hops floods the palate, then just as swiftly, subsides. Body is a bit light, texture is small. Needs a bit more from malt, for, ultimately, the hops stand out too much and come across a little sharp and piney. This detracts from the mouthfeel considerably. Not a bad brew, though, but go do sweel in the heat of summer, when we’re less picky.

Pours a three-fingered white head that goes slowly and leaves a good lace. Clear light, amber color. Light carbonation. Nose has hints of hops. Starts with a hop/malt mix nothing dominates, finishes clean but slightly on the sweet side. Light bodied.

Clear light gold, frothy head w. decent lacing. Herban nose. Kind of smells like the bean burritos at this place I used to work. Herbal flavor, very easy drinking. Finish is a bit too herbal for me, like a tea that steeped a bit too long.

Probably my second least favorite from this brewer. It’s got a nice tangy finish, but nothing else about this beer really appeals to me. It’s not bad, but nothing I’m real into, dawgs.

Clear gold (there's a surprise), mild malty aroma, flora hoppiness. Sweet, full bodied, honey malt flavours, fresh tasting, low bitterness, low carbonation, kind of English in it's execution.
