Picked up a couple bottles of these at a local supermarket. Pours a clear light gold with a tall vanilla head. Good lacing. Aroma of toasted caramel, grassy hops, and some grapefruit. Taste is well balanced. Grassy and citrus hop bitterness nad a solid caramel malt backbone. Enjoyable.

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.

Dec 1, 2009 On tap at the Yard House, Phoenix location. Aroma is intriguing, with citrus and spice hops and toasty malts. Flavours are toasty, bready malts with an interesting mix of spicy and grassy notes. The more I drank, the more an odd vegetal/herbal quality stood out, but not in a bad way. Tasty and intriguing.
