Big bright hop bouquet. fresh and juicy hop character with a low level of bitterness. fresh and easy a real quaffer but with plenty of flavor to enjoy. man i would love to have access to this stuff! this is what my summer has been missing: delicious beer in a can! what does this stuff cost. you can’t get it in il or mo. drowland (1380), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2009 Quick chilled in the freezer and it got too cold for head, unfortunately. The pour is amber brown. The aroma is sweet pale malt and the flavor is sweet malt with a nice hop flavor that isn’t overbearing. This really reminds me of homebrew for some reason.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2009 On tap and 12oz can. Poured a burnt orange with a big three finger white head that left rings of lace. The smell was a mixture of sweet malt and citrus hops. The taste started off with a sweet honey and caramel malt which was followed by some citrus hops and a bitter finish. Smooth medium body with good carbonation.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 8, 2009 On tap at the Longmont tasting room on 7/16/09. Pours solid orange with wonderful off white head and good lacing as I drank. Great earthy floral hops aroma. Incredibly smooth light bodied pale ale with a good bitter, clean finish. Have loved this in cans for a while, but on tap is just amazing. Bierkrug (246), Idar-Oberstein, Germany
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Aug 8, 2009 330 ML can in the USA. Not sure what happened, first canned beer I had in years, but I must have gotten a bad can compared to the other ratings here. But I have to rate it as I saw it.
Cherry amber color, light head, heavy metal taste with a sharp stabbing aftertaste. Might re-rate another time but this was nasty. I could not finish it. Kuzo (43), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 5, 2009 Poured from a tap. Cloudy orange with a big white head that lingered and left nice lace.
Smells strong citrus and hops hops with subtle melon (honeydew?).
Soft mouthfeel that is somewhat creamy.
The taste was very interesting. It has an initial burst of of citrus, grapefruit, and pine followed by a malty middle and ends with a dry hoppy aftertaste.
I truly enjoyed this one. williamherbert (466), Syracuse, New York, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 3, 2009 If this beer doesn’t prove that good beer in a can is a great idea, not sure anything will. I have been converted! It’s a bright orange seems to glow from within. The head disappears quickly, but gives way to icy lace. It is hazy and cloudy. The aroma is an excellent citrusy hop. Lots of flowers and fruit. Some pale crystal malts as well; sharp in their paleness. Just this side of an IPA. The hops are citrusy and strong in the taste, but the crystal malts also come through, with a sharp spiky addition. Both flavors are tart and challenging. The feel is creamy and milky. Thick and chewy. Quite good. It’s a tart and citrusy drink. A terrific, hop-fueled pale ale.
