Aug 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Pleasantly hoppy, with light bitterness, but a fruity, spicy character that tingles the back of the tongue on the way down. Deep gold color with a lasting head, moderate lace. Light on the tongue, with a light malt sweetness that just underlies the hop flavors. Light caramel and grapefruit in the aroma. I was apprehensive when purchasing this, as the package didn’t really give away much about the style or flavor, but this was a damn drinkable beer that I can’t really fault at all except maybe to say that it might not hold my interest for more than a couple.

Aug 14, 2009 Very hard to rate this brew.. If it is a blond ale then it failed. If it is extra pale ale then it was rather nice.
Pours a Sunset orange with fizzy white head that goes away quick. Smells of some pine and light sugar notes. Light to medium body with ok carbonation and a crisp finish that is smooth. Flavor is hoppy but balanced. some citrus fruit orange and lemon and some light sugar notes. It is a nice summer brew...
This is one beer I prefer to drink From the bottle. It seems to get lost in a glass and is not very good from the bottle.

Deep golden color, small white head. Grapefruity, sweaty hoppy aroma. A bit pear sweetness in the background, grapefruity hops. Easy to drink.

Aug 6, 2009 Cask at GBBF 2009. An amber coloured beer with a decent head. Aroma of honey and malt. Tastes hoppy, light, fruity. An easy drinking summer beer.

Aug 6, 2009 Sampled at the Denver Brew Fest. Very, very light brew. Too light? Some hop presence, but not much. It’s still very smooth though and aight.

Aug 4, 2009 Pours amber with a fine white foam head. Aroma is relatively weak, but is a little hoppy and floral. Flavor is a little citrus (sweet grapefruit), with a bit of hoppy bitterness. It is also very creamy, but unfortunately, a bit watery. A pretty good summer beer.
