Pours a clear golden amber with a substantial white head. It smells of crisp hops with floral tones in the background. The beer has a mellow sweet flavor right off the bat followed quickly by bitter hops, but the flavor disappears quickly leaving your mouth feeling clean. Not a bad beer, but the flavors seem to be somewhere in between a sweet beer and an overhopped beer.

Aug 24, 2008 Wow! ....Wow! The aroma is remenicent fresh sweet lemons. This amazing brew pours a wonderful hazy golden color with a creamy light tan head that lasts till the fat lady sings. The head leaves a delicate beautiful lace. The flavor is (like the Commercial Description) a pleasant grassiness Iv’e never tasted in a beer before...WOW! It’s great! Some hop spiciness and citrus notes... balanced well with a little sweetness from the pale malts. Just the right bitterness.... and it lingers well. And oh so smooth. It is now officially my favorite pale ale. Oh it’s great. I wish this would never end. But it has to. Thank you Great Divide for Fresh Hop Plae Ale. The Lord bless the hop harvest.

Aug 24, 2008 bomber from premier gourmet. pours clear bright golden orange with a tight white head that lasts and laces. aromas are all about the hops. grassy, citrus, grapefruit. the flavours are similar with a long dry finish. i love the dryness in this one. it makes the difference from what would have been a mediocure brew. good stuff!!

does not count  Aug 21, 2008 This is one of my all time favorites. Deuced it up a couple years in a row. I’d say grapefruit and that sharp piney taste. I could drink about a thousand of these but I think that’s just me.

Aug 18, 2008 22 ounce bottle from Belmont Station--Poured a amber-golden hue with a medium whitish head. Nose of grapefruits pine and caramel. Sweet, sticky, oily body. Piquant floral, piny, citrus notes. Very earthy and gritty. Soft and pleasant. Still, I can’t spend what they’re asking when they are just shipping the hops in from Oregon and shipping them back. Drink local!
