12 oz bottle Clear Copper off white head, Cascade type hoppy aroma with some juicy fruit gum and bit-o-honey candy mixed in.Taste is sweet slightly roasted malt with balanced hop bitterness.Its a delicate pale ale and doesnt travel well. The best advice is go to the source and try it on draught you will be amazed what a drinkable ale this really is.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells of wildflowers, yogurt, and grapefruit. Tastes citrussy with some nice orange and grapefruit elements present. Some caramelly sweet notes pop up on the finish.

12 oz bottle via trade with beerhandy - Thanks Chris! - Pours amber with a small white head that laces some. Aroma of floral hops and candy sweet caramel malts. Flavor is pretty much a blend of that with a bit of peach flavor coming through. Medium bodied and fairly smooth to drink.

12oz Bottle from Beerhandy. Poured a clear dark amber. Nice off white head. I was not expecting much, but I liked how this smelled. Like candy and sweet with pine and grapefruit. The taste was first Sweet caramel malt then smoothed out and jumped up with a fruity-citrus hop. I liked this alot. Thanks pal.

Sampled from bottle. Pours clear, dark copper with a generous off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is hoppy with both floral, earthy English and Spicy American hops present. Nicely bitter flavor is rich caramel and the same hops noted in the aroma. Faint fruit present as well. Medium-bodied and well-carbonated. Arkansas is lucky to have a quality beer like this available to them.

Poured a clear deep amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma was hmm...odd? Cooked pineapple juice, perfume, cardboard. Under that was malt. Malty flavor, more sweet juice, and a touch of hops at the finish. Thanks to Beerhandy for the beer and another state.
