JCB (1716), Durham, North Carolina, USA Oct 9, 2009 Bottle from a trade on BA - thanks, Stephen! Faintly cloudy orange pour with a moderate head. Aroma suggests grassy hops gone to seed a bit, leaving a biscuity malt residue. Mouthfeel is average, with some fruit flavors mixed in with a fairly bland hop profile. Papery finish, a bit meh. I’d like to have it fresh on tap, but as is it’s pretty boring. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Aug 18, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Orange in color with a small white head. Aroma is of caramel, light hops and cardboard. Taste is cardboard, caramel, hops and honey. boomer0813 (53), denton, Texas, USA Aug 12, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Color was gold with a white head. Very sour tatse with honey. Aroma of honey, lemon, and banana. Not my style of beer. travita (1861), Frisco, Texas, USA Aug 7, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. The look is golden in color, has a foamy white head, and is clear. The smell is honey, fruits, sweet, and some yeast. The taste is malts, hops, and floral. thirdeye11 (405), Texas, USA Jul 6, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a clear yellow with small head. Nose is caramel and sweet pale malts. The taste is the same, with a slight lingering bitterness. Just average for me. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Jun 23, 2009 (12oz bottle, courtesy of ericandersnavy) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of florals, grass, and citrus. Flavor of caramel malt and mild hops (citrus, grass) with a moderately bitter finish. Fairly average pale ale. RollinHard (750), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Jun 23, 2009 Pours orange-gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of old citrus and something that was reminding me of bleu cheese. Pungent. Tste of burnt lemon, toast and spice. Finishes bitter, buttery, and citrusy. Bit of an oddball. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jun 21, 2009 Bottled thanks to Kevin! Poured clean medium golden with a tall, sticky off-white head. The aroma picked up grassy and floral notes over soft, sweet caramel.. OK, but lacked drawing power. The flavor found orange zest and pine bitterness over pale and caramel malts.. grainy residual sweetness on the finish. Light-medium bodied with moderate-to-high bitterness on the palate.. OK balance and flow.
