Aug 15, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine, Wilmington. Poured a light and more amber color than I had anticipated, nice whtie colored head sat on top. The lacing was weak. The aroma was bready, grassy, straw, lightly fruity. The flavor was full malt, slightly sweet, gently hopped, mouthfull of bread and some caramel, toasty notes along with some earthy grass and straw. Mouthfeel was light to moderate in carbonation, pretty full malty base, though. Refreshing "big beer" on a Summer day.

Aug 14, 2009 On tap at Tyler’s, Durham, with durhambeer. Surprised to enjoy a beer in this style during the dank Southern heat, but it was flavorful and refreshing. Deep honey-colored pour with a pretty sizable head. Fulsome bready notes in the nose, a sort of organic and slightly tart aroma that bodes well. Nice mouthfeel enhances things, and it’s thankfully not too sweet. Instead, you get a brew that’s got light fruity additions to the crisp, and mostly clean flavors. Pretty good.

Aug 6, 2009 Very refreshing. Aroma has alcohol, subtle hops and sweetness. (I know sweetness is not a smell, but this smells sweet.) The taste is actually much mellower than expected, based on the alcohol smell. Very clean and crisp, great mouth feel, with some definite sweetness. Great cream-colored head on the golden, light copper colored beer.

Aug 3, 2009 Updated: Aug 4, 2009Served in a Harpoon glass at Tyler’s, this was a beaut. Pours clear light orange with big white head. Smells bready and subtly fruity. Some mild hops and just lovely bread aromas. Not overly sweet. Light palate... surprised that it was 7.4%. I really liked this beer.

Jul 24, 2009 On Draft at the Brewery during my sister’s graduation weekend. Pours clear, dark gold. Aroma is fresh hop. Taste is smooth, sweet, well balanced - and not a single trace of alcohol.
