Umm ... yeah, a pretty unexciting ale. Not good, not bad. Just balanced and average.

malty rye aroma, tons of caramel. thin, but syrupy. not a great beer, definitely not a hoppy APA.

The nose was hit with citrus flavors and sweet malts, then vanilla then the aroma seemed to die down a bit. Lots of citrus flavors in this beer but grapefruit was definately the most dominant. Not as hoppy as I was hoping for.

A decent drink... thought it was a lager before I finally read the label. Mild copperish color with a milder aroma. Not very much to grab one on the taste. It’s okay.

Well, this is some holy jewish holiday, so I figured I’d try this gimmicky beer. Very mild aroma with a floral slightly pine aroma to start, which disappears. Slight caramel maltiness. Transparent golden orange copper color with a tiny white head which goes away fast. Quite hoppy and pine-like to start. Slightly metallic in the middle and a somewhat boring slightly watery finish. This is ok, needs more body.

Have wanted to try this for a long time, after being knocked off my feet seeing it look up at me in a New York deli fridge. It says it has ingredients from all around the country. Hm, not sure what they are, but I guess cross-pollination and all that is typically a good thing. Aroma is slightly citrus-limey. Okay flavor, a bit bitter. Tastes somewhat like New York City public tap water (bizarre mental connection there). Maybe that’s the geographic connection for NY. Slightly hopsy, and sweet.

Bottle. First beer of the day, not bad as a session beer, but not very exciting. Good but not the messiah of malt.

Appearance: bright amber hue, close to a ruby red, at some angles, with a fine, fuzzy, creamish-colored head. Aroma: soft, gentle, and simple right off, with light, floral hops, As for taste, we begin with a very welcome hoppiness that delivers a small payload, providing a spicy hop kick, then departs, while the rest of the palate is pleased by a delightful fruitiness (cherreis, berries, a smack of citrus) and a handy helping of malt. Medium bodied, with a warm, lingering finish. Bitterness opens up at the end, as hops have the last say. Quite a tasty little treat, a nice refresher. L’chaim!
