Beer pours golden in color with a nice, egg white head that is totally retained. Aroma is quite, bright citrus hops, also just a bit of malty bread. Flavor is likewise, initially lightly hoppy, then finishes with malt breadflavor. Pretty nice beer. Not sure about the category, as I think this could go in the Pale Ale category, but hey who am I?

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.

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
