12oz bottle served in my DT snifter. Aroma is honey, pine, citrus and earthiness. Brilliant clarity. Golden colored with a smallish off white head. The flavor is quite hoppy and a little spicy. Pine, citrus, spicy rye and some earthiness in the finish. Nice body with a clean finish. This is the last of the six pack that I bought and I will be sad to see it gone from the fridge. Very interesting and very drinkable.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy gold, with medium white head and good lacing. The aroma is of citrus mostly, but you can definitely smell the hops. Taste is very light citrus, very more of the bitterness of the various hops. the light sweetness adds a good undertone. Very easy to drink and a very well done Golden, which is usually one of my least favorite styles

Dec 13, 2009 Pours a clear golden color with a very small, thin, filmy, white head. Aroma has a semi-full hop note with lots a modest amount of resin and citrus notes, some light sweet grainy presences, light citrus orange nose and the typical New Belgium yeasty character. Flavor has a solid piney and citrus hops note, some mild caramel sweetness and a smooth citrus orange fruitiness. Beer has a medium body with a very smooth, creamy texture with a very low fine carbonation. Overall a very good hops not with a sweet, yeasty note making it not a bad brew at all.

Dec 9, 2009 Clear golden yellow with a frothy white crown and some spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, resinous floral hops and malt. Taste of diaceytl, malt, and floral and citrus hops. Thin and a touch dry with a bit of alcohol on the finish. I was expecting a hoppy Oktoberfest, but that’s not what this was.

Dec 4, 2009 Bottle. Nice but not special golden appearance. Nice pleasant simple hopy nose. Attack is a bit sweet, lots of citrus, followed by a dry bitter hop ending. Probably best beer to my tastes from New Belgium.

Dec 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a very clear golden color with a large white long lasting head. It has a nice citrus hop aroma. It has a strong but not overpowering hop flavor with minimal hop bitterness. It has a nice citrus flavor along with a pine flavor and a slight pleasant vegetable flavor. I enjoyed this beer and will probably drink it again.

Dec 1, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear gold color with a decent, foamy, clingy, white head that last. Taste is of hops, pine, grass, caramel, resin, some malt and citrus. Similar aroma, that is rather prevalent. A little thin. Very easy to drink and rather enjoyable. Worth picking up again.
