Draft at the brewpub. A golden beer with a slight haze under a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with grassy notes of hops. The flavor is sweet grassy combined with notes of malt and a light touch of spicy hops, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Amber color, light white head, very sticky & creamy, nice. Floral hop notes, very sweet with a caramel & lilac nose. The flavor is herbal with some fresh hop notes (maybe dry hopped?). Finishes with some alcohol & musty dry hops. Decent fresh pale but again ends very weak.

Cloudy well carbonated orange. Lasting cream coloured head. Citrus hop aroma as advertised. Fizzy orange zest flavour. Thick malty mouth feel.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a very clear amber/orange with a small white head. Aroma had some nice floral citrus hops to it, kinda smells like citrus candy. Nice hoppy pale with a very smooth texture with a nice medium bitterness in the aftertaste.

A very mellow, smooth and light tasting pale ale. Very well balanced with alot of citrus notes, and a bit of a soapy finish.

On tap at GVB--Ultra light amber, mostly golden body with no head. Creamy, caramel maltiness with mildly floral hops. Very astringent and crisp cereal finish. Nice.

Slightly hazy yellow gold, strong thick white head. Sweet grassy aroma, like wheatgrass juice and hibiscus. Little cardboard, also tastes like the way new carpet smells. Strange. Tingly on the palate, finishes bubbly and odd with lemon juice.
