Aug 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery at 7/18/09. Pours clear gold, bubbly head. Lavendar and orange aroma. A weird unique bitterness in the flavor which carries through to the finish and a touch of sourness made my tongue pucker.

Jul 27, 2009 (Draught at New Belgium brewery) Pours a pale yellow with little to no head, but good lacing. Nose has toasted grains and is fruity. Odd for a lager but nice. Taste is much of the same. Crisper than expected, but not bitter at all like most lagers have. This was smooth, fruity, nice yeast characteristics with a great finish.
If all lagers tasted like this they wouldn’t be rated as low as they are. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

May 26, 2009 Growler. Clear golden colored body, highly effervescent, trails of large bubbles rapidly rising the insides of the glass - looks like ginger ale. Bright and focused nose of red apple skins, sharp/dried hops and minerally yeast (honey as well). Effervescent and bubbly on the tongue. Sharp and full texture, pretty much spot on for the kind of bite expected in cali. common beer. Wonderfully drinkable pseudo-lager.
