Oh, the smell, loved the smell - one of those odd beers that I can remember the smell months later just thinking about it - now if I could only find the words - what immediately comes to mind is fresh malts, springtime fresh cut hops and grass, a large dose of earthiness. Taste is fresh and malty, not too sweet, very smooth, the just bright enough hops don’t really come in until the end and then you want another sip and a full nose full of the aroma. I’d love to buy this again, but it’s been awhile and I just know that I’d be disappointed.

Aug 26, 2008 12-oz bottle received via Secret Santa July 2008. Pours amber with an average foamy off-white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, hay, straw), light hops (herbs, grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of soap, pears, and wet paper. Light bodied, thin texture, light carbonation, and a chalky finish. Long duration, light sweetness and bitterness, moderate acidity.

Mar 21, 2008 12 oz bottle; poured a dark orange/amber with a medium sized, creamy, white head. Aroma was sweet with toasted malt, vanilla and caramel. Aroma got better to me. Haven’t had this style for a while. Good amount of hoppy bitterness; hops were mostly herbal and grassy. Very good grassy flavors. Malts were slightly sweet, nutty and toasted. Solid beer.
