Sample at the brewery. pours golden/ornage, white head. Aroma and taste, caramel, malts, light pine hops, with some citrus notes. finishes floral.

A- Pours a moderately transparent dark golden hue, medium-sized creamy white head that is mostly diminishing, some good lacing throughout S- Fairly strong hop presence characterized by grass/earth and slight citrus (smells like dry hopping), good amount of bread malts T- Initial taste is hops-forward with a grassy/hay flavor that is well balanced with bready malts in the background, finish is of lingering dry and bitter hops, taste is smooth, clean and refreshing, a prototypical pale ale M- Medium-bodied, high carbonation, slick/watery texture D- Unsure of the abv, but this is probably closer to 6%abv given the high hop profile, easy-to-drink but a bit more complex and bitter than most pale ales, I was blown away by this ale in the first sample and will surely enjoy the growler over the next few days, I hope they decide to bottle this sometime, but until then I will have to make time to head to the brewery more regularly

Thick, good lacing. Fairly boring, can’t get an aroma off of it. Slight citrus in taste, but no bite.

(11/5/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Coronado. Cloudy deep golden with a white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, some fruity notes and a bit of yeast. Malty flavor with bready hints in the beginning, continues hoppy and bitter with hints of pine and grapefruit. Medium-bodied.

Tap at the brewpub. Very hazy orange-coloured beer. Bright citrusy hop aroma over a very clean pale malt backbone. There is a lightly spicy quality as well. As it warms, the citrus character really picks up. Orange peel and a lightly grapefruity flavour. Soft earthy/fruity bitterness. A simple tasty brew.
