Dec 12, 2007 Tap @ CBC - Lightly hazed gold, thick creamy white head. Nose held soft notes of pine and fresh grassy florals. Nutty earth bitterness fades into further grassy floral flavors. Light bodied, soft carbonation, light hoppy finish. Well crafted and very sessionable…

Nov 8, 2007 (Draught) Pours a hazy golden orange body with a small creamy white head. Aroma of light citrus, florals, biscuit, and grain. Flavor of floral/citrus hops that complements the malty base; finishes dry and mildly bitter.

Oct 13, 2007 Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Hazy dark yellow pour with a thin white head, fruity, some peach or apricot in the nose, and a nice balanced taste. This would make an excellent and flavorful change-of-pace sessionable beer.

Aug 5, 2006 Pint at CBC on 8/4/06.
Foamy, light, small, white head is initially retained well, but then after a few minutes, quickly exits and leaves a light ring. The body is a peach-marigold with a lighter, pale-gold undertone. Moderate amount of carbonation rising. Little to no lacing left behind.
Dry, extremely so, nose has amarillos, though it’s a very dry, fuzzy fruitiness. Minimal citrus and I’m impressed that the cascades are not dominant. Grainy, dry, pale malts leave no sweetness (or softness) in the nose.
The flavor is extremely dry and heavily attenuated as well. Dry, moderately bitter hops don’t have that juiciness of an IPA or what not, so in that way it’s quite done to-style. Just dry lemons, oranges, limes and peaches. Malt is just barely there. Somewhat supportive, grainy texture no doubt intended to quench. And it does, though I still think it might be a touch too dry and grainy. Some softness might help. Still, it’s a very well-done example, similar to Portsmouth’s American mild (though less hoppy). No alcohol apparent. House yeast character appears mid-way through each sip and is quite nutty and enjoyable.
