Nice, easy drinkin’ ale. Some light caramel in the malt, especially at the sweet finish. Could use a little more hops for balance.

Funny that Hannah below mentioned this beer’s lager-like quality, as that was my first thought after smelling and tasting this one. Not a lot of strange stuff going on, pretty simple, and crisp. Good session beer, tasted comparable to a weaker Sam Adams, a tad like Yuengling. Only slight nuance to the flavor I picked up on was a bit of wood. I like it.

Bottle courtesy of Unclemattie: Poured a clear light amber with an average foamy head with OK retention but no lacing. Aroma of medium-sweet malt with a light touch of bitter hops. Taste is mostly based upon some medium-sweet malt and finish is slightly bitter. Body is about average with some OK carbonation. I guess this one is OK but nothing really to write home about.

Sweet malty aroma with a tinge of something sharp in the finish. Tea colored with an ample white head. Metallic water with a dash of malt.

Copper colored beer that audibly fizzed away almost all of the head as I poured it into the glass. Wet grainy nose. Course bread with some apricot and pit fruit flavors. Some citrus hops in the finish. Not very interesting. Thanks to daknole for the bottle.

On tap at the Parrot Key. Clear orange in color with a thin head. Flavor is hoppy and malty. Clean mouthfeel. Citrus hops. Very refreshing. Nicely balanced beer. Slightly bitter. Enjoyable beer.
