Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear pale golden orange color with a small frothy alabaster head that leaves some lacing and a ring of bubbles. Rich malts, earthy hops and biscuits. Light bodied, smooth and well carbonated. Ending is of rich tasting malts with notes of biscuits and earth.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and gold color. Aroma is sweet malt. Taste is sweet malt balanced with medium hops. Maltier than a standard pale ale. OK carbonation. Good session beer.

Amber body, no head. Flavor is very fruity, with a distinct lemon character. Decently hopped. A somewhat odd pale ale.

This pale ale pours a light amber color with a fizzy, white head. Clear body with little carbonation. Aroma is of moderate hops with flower and perfume notes. Initial flavor is sweet with a light bitter finish. Dry and oily on the mouth.

Bottle: pours yellow/orange with a thick fluffy cream colored head. Nice appearance. Floral bouquet of hops. Well balanced combination of malt and hops. Smooth, bitter finish. Good.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with no head. The aroma is primarily of caramel, but also contains note of hops. The flavor is powerful of alcohol and grass, but inspite of the alcohol presensce the mouthfeel is thin.

12 oz bottle. Clear bubbly medium amber, giant frothy diminishing head...caramel, sharp orange, Sprite in the nose...fairly dull and cardboardy on the tongue, bit of a bite and fairly full, but...forget it.

Holy $hit, BIG carbonation. Great big head of very large bubbles with tons of carbonation. Head settles slowly to a nice rocky foam. Color is a light golden orange. Nice resinous hops aroma. Little floral, little citrus. Light bread malts also. Flavor is initially, slightly metallic, then mellows out to a nice bitter brew. Little dry. Thin malts. Finish has a nice lingering bitterness. A decent finish to a ok brew.
