Clean crisp hop aroma with no overpowering soap smell. Floral hops that remind me of springtime. Amber color with foamy head. Nice clean, slightly watery taste. Metallic in the finish - the main and biggest downside of this beer. However, I love the brewery and would give it another shot in a heartbeat. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 7, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Fordest Light amber color with a lasting offwhite head. Smell is very lightly hopped, with some mild caramel in there tool. A bit more sweetness than hops in the nose but the taste is in reverse with more hops up front and sweetness in the finish. Ends with a big metallic, and oxidized taste, i believe. Kind of like rust. Finish is unpleasant and perhaps its just not quite fresh. My favorite style, and my definite least favorite from the brewery, when everything else of theirs was pretty good. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA

Decent hop aroma and a modest malt character. Flavor was mostly malts with just enough hops to nearly balance. Nice medium weight Pale ale.
Tasty.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 18, 2007 22 oz bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Poured a clear light orange color. Head was thick and white with good retention. There was only a bit of lace on the glass at the end. Pleasant aroma of light grapefruity hops and malty caramel. Slightly sweet without any significant hop bitterness. Tasted of caramel and flowery hops. Simple, but well done. Very drinkable. joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2007 Bottle. Floral aroma of lychee and grapefruit with hop dust. Pale orange with no carbonation but a creamy rich lacing off-white head. Taste is immediately bitter and crisp, drenched in hops but amazingly drinkable.. Medium body yields a dry biscuity aftertaste with medium lingering bitterness. Balanced and vaguely exotic, with light citrus. Boy, this one activates the salivary glands. Nice quaffer! sneagrams3 (1759), St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Grainy and maple aromas. Bready. Mild and easy. Smooth, but nothing special. Although the malt kick is really nice.
