| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2009 Bruegala 2009 sampling -Pours a clear yellow color with an average white head. Aroma has a light hay, straw malt note with a light floral hoppiness and a light barnyard, cheesy note. Flavor is pretty sweet and fruity with a light barnyard bite and a light dryness to finish the tasting. Modest body with a thinner texture but a very fizzy carbonation rate provide the perfect settings for distributing the light aromas and flavors. Overall a really good brew with some light sourness and makes for a perfect brew for a warm day. VTHopHead (934), Barre, Vermont, USA

Aroma is fruity (citrus) with some floral hops mixed in. Flavor was slightly sweet to begin and quite spicy. Fruity... citrus/lemon. Doughy yeasts.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 9, 2009 Golden orange body, big and cloudy white head with blanketing lacing and tight carbonation. Tart citrus aroma, very zesty with a strong yeast presence. A tad sour and medium bodied. Spritzy feel, it’s really satisfying. Fruity flavors of lemon, papaya, orange and peppery, spicy hops. A mild sourness adds good depth to a backbone of fresh dough malt flavors. Good stuff. padrefan98 (788), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA

Not very refreshing, which is usually the primary goal of this beer. Bottle at Whole Foods, South Beach. naivepegasus (193), USA
