| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 30, 2009 12oz. bottle: This one pours a clear golden color. There was a small white head on it that dropped off rather quickly, but left a bit of lacing. The aroma is rather decent. There is a lot going on in this one. Some citrus and pine hop notes up front. Also some grassiness and malts in the background. A mild hop bite to the taste. Medium bodied. Some malts and earthiness to the taste also. Pretty easy drinking. Not bad at all!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2009 bottle bb 2/6/10 tasted 9/13/09.
clear. rich golden/dark yellow-y blonde with a one inch of white head and some sluggish foamy lace trails.
crisp, fresh and balanced nose of grain, honey, orange/a bit pithy, floral and some peppery spice.
the palate and flavor are again... balanced. pale malty sweetness mixes with piney hops, honey, cream, citrus, florals and sugar cookie-like doughiness with a dry finish.
the medium body is loaded with small squishy bubbles which give it a creamy soft mouth feel. the experience is enhanced when consumed directly from the bottle... much richer and fuller yet still crisp.
well made, balanced and highly sessionable! 7.5/3/8/4/16/3.85

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 22, 2009 On tap. Rating #233. Poured a light gold with a small white head although it did leave really nice lacing on the glass. Aroma was light malt with just a hint of hops, very light hops. Flavor was similar to the flavor, very light with not much in the way of hops. Not super impressed, but it does make for a decent session drinker.
