Appearance: Pours a clear, copper-orange body with a thin, wispy off-white head. Smell: Aroma comprised of light notes of caramel, orange zest, and toast shavings. Taste: Hmm. A vague, brief maltiness with not very much sweetness to it. Citric orange zest hop flavor with a sharp stab of bitterness. Finishes same. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Mediocre at best, there are many far better summertime offerings to choose from.

This one poured a light orange color. The aroma was rather musty and yeasty. Some lemons and grass in the nose. It smelled aged although the bottle confirmed this was from 2007. The flavor contains some hay, lemons, with a little bit of pine in there. Overall it was an odd duck but not horrible.

Courtesy of Drink4Satan. Pours a clear yellow with a dissapating white head. Hints of Cascade hops, citrus, and spice. Finishes crisp and dry.

Pours an orange hazy amber colour with a frothy off white head. Nose of heavy citrus hops, orange peel and lemon zest. Initial taste is lots of bitter hops malts are completed dominated and are never really become apparent. Finishing with a bitter hop palate that has some good duration. Minor head retention and some lacing of the glass.

pours golden in color with smells of lemon, hops, and some alcohol. taste is pretty good for a summer brew with a nice bit of hops. the label i had is definitely not the one pictured.
