The aroma is of caramel malts topped with floral and herbal hops. The flavor is a sweet caramel backbone with solid citric, floral, and earthy hoppings. It finishes on a sweet malt note with a dollop of hop bitterness.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 22, 2004 Clear amber color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is somewhat sweet fruity malts, grapefruity and floral hops. A medium bodied pale ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and floral. Nicely balanced Pale Ale, a touch on the sweet side. But a nice APA. All the bad stuff I said about the Micro Beer of the Month Club last month I take back, as long as they keep shipping beers like this and the Oak Barrel Aged Stout. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

overall: 4.15
Appearance: slightly hazy, bold tangerine color, beneath fresh white head, though short-lived. Aroma is a treat, bold and hoppy, absolutely dripping with vibrant ho juiciness, grapefruit, orange, peach, all manner of fruitiness, quite appealing.
These flavors make a happy return in the taste, after a brief blitz of hop bitterness that swiftly fades and mellows. Lively fruity flavor never seems to quit, and the abundant hops are handily met by malt, just enough for a sweet, lush cushion. Medium body, light, still hoppy finish. Very tasty, even very, very tasty, reminding me at times of SN PA, and I even get an echo of Alpha King.
I’d be very happy any time I’d find this little treasure around!
