Bronze, good head; even aroma and palate, balancing earthy, toffeeish malts and floral hops. Though it seems modelled after English style pales, the use of American hops gives it a vibrancy that really adds to the balance and drinkability of the beer. Not a landmark product but nicedly done.

(12oz bottle) Enormous off-white head atop a hazy amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some tea, caramel, light earthy. Taste is medium sweet, orange, caramel, light tea. Watery light-medium body.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and clear orange color with a small sized white head. Aromas of caramel and citrus. Tastes of the same. Lively and fizzy body.

Bottle... Clear amber ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Good retention. Floral, fruity aroma with a pleasant afterthought of diacetyl. Balanced nicely, but thin. Reserved acidity sparks some interest and then disappears, leaving just a whimper of buttery diacetyl and my palate unfulfilled. Light-bodied with Champagne-like spritz. Short, tannic, bone-dry finish. A big THANKS to growler for splitting the bottle!

On draught at the brewery. Pours opaque brown/copper with a thin white head. Smells slightly rosey with some grape elements. Tastes malty with some light hoppy elements.

Dark gold pour with malt and hopcit aroma. Tastes malt with hopcit. Medium palate.
