On draft @ Aruba Ft Lauderdale. Not very good. Nice looking amber colored beer. Taste some what sweet & slightly sour. Perhaps some honey. <ild hop bitterness.

Honestly, this goes against everything you’re ever really taught about ales, but this beer is better out of the bottle than it is poured into a glass. A slightly complex, grain taste to it, but the appearance is what really sells this one. Extremely pleasing.

Pours with average amount of head, and a very tantalizing amber color. Taste is complex, fruity and hoppy, there’s no way you can take just one drink.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey body with a thin, bubbly white head. Smell: Ultra faint musty grain aroma. Seriously, folks, there’s practically nothing in here. Taste: Simple, light grainy flavor. Hardly any sweetness and even less bitterness. The finish is slightly sour, but even that is all too fleeting. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Quite watery. Drinkability: Might be better served and more enjoyed in a sunny, oceanside apartment in Florida.

Pours a transparent orange amber with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and a hint of tart fruit. Body starts fairly thin and uninteresting with a mild sweet pale maltiness and some mild earthy hop balance toward a thinner finish. Very drinkable.

12 Oz bottle courtesy of my sister Angie! Thanks sis for thinking of me while on the beach!! Poured a very pretty orange golden color with a very nice foamy head. Smelled like sweet straw. Taste was pretty good when it was cold. Not a ton of flavor, just a light malt, some caramel and a hint of fruit. Not terrible, but not entirely full of flavor either...I appreciate the thought tho!! Who doesnt like free beer???
