JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Sep 19, 2009 Pale amber pour. Thick white head. The nose is nice and fresh with a lot of fresh pine and grapefruit. A little bit of lean zestiness. Soft palate with the bitterness showing a fairly restrained quality. It isn’t as if they skimped on hops here. Lean-bodied and quite tasty. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jun 8, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear light orange color. The head was off white and left some lace behind on the glass. Attractive hop dominated aroma with grapefruit and pine elements and a caramel accent. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet with mild to moderate bitterness. Moderately carbonated. Lots of fruity hop flavors that included the likes of mango, pineapple, and spruce. There was also an occasional hint of peach and some supporting light malty caramel. Yum. hombrepalo (745), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 1, 2009 On tap @ Piece. Solid brew, extreaml fresh tasting! Bronze with a light filmy head and lots of lace. Bitter and floral hops with some grape fruit. Slightly herbal. Strong bitter and herbal notes in the flavor. Some bubblegum. Tangy and bitter finish.
BeerBunker (607), Burbank, Illinois, USA May 29, 2009 draft at Piece. Pours murky orange with a small ring of white lacing. Aroma is of citrus, hops, pine, and caramel malt. Lots of grapefruit in the aroma as well. Taste starts with lots of bitter, juicy hops. Lots of bubblegum, grapefruit, and pine. Has a nice, dry backbone of caramel malt. Lingering citrus taste. Has a nice overall oily hop presence. Body is sticky, almost like drinking a glass of orange juice. Very drinkable. I enjoyed it. Lubiere (4464), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada May 23, 2009 A golden ale with a thin white head. A nice biscuitty malt with a light pungeant c-hops, with some orange pulp. In mouth, good malt backbone, good c-hops, light pink grapefruit. Nice, rich and warming. On tap at brewpub, May 18 2009. shawnm213 (884), South Bend, Indiana, USA Mar 31, 2009 on draft at piece. poured amber with a white head. fruity smell. thanks piece MoDog (909), Griffith, Indiana, USA Mar 23, 2009 On tap at Piece and served in a nonik. This poured a hazy amber orange with a thin, lasting beige head. Good lacing. The aroma and flavor were both overrun with an insane amount of fruity hops. Very citric and piney. Just a bit of pale malt sneaking in to hold things together. Wow! Vibrant grapefruit, oranges, peach, and mango. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had light carbonation. A one-dimensional hop-bomb, but I like it! bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Jan 18, 2009 (Draught) Pours a hazy golden amber with small white. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, and caramel. Flavor of hops (citrus, pineapple), caramel malt, and yeast.
