rederic (1444), montréal, Quebec, Canada May 27, 2008 Hazy amber-orange hue, with a mall white head, nice floral hop leafy nose, with some lemon, grapefruit note, with some piney, cedary accents, and a light toasty malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a good citrusy, piney flowery hop charater, with some resiny, coniferous, juicy leafiness accent, with a faint caramelized malt note leading towards a faint malty, hop piney bitternees finish. General_Gao (2575), Iowa City, Iowa, USA May 6, 2008 Growler. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was off white and reduced in about one minute. Aroma was of caramel, cereal grain, lemon, and subdued grapefruit. Light bodied with mild hop bitterness. I tasted graham cracker up front with some grassy hops, and toffee toward the end. Not bad. heemer77 (3782), Savannah, Missouri, USA May 6, 2008 From a growler, thanks Mike and Mark. The body was dark amber with a khaki head. The aroma was grapefruit and toast. There was also some nutty almonds. The taste was grapefruit somw with some toast. There was also some apple core. A decent pale. WickerBrew (279), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 14, 2008 Kind of a let down with this one. Not a whole lot of flavor up front and it finishes with a weak dry hoppiness. Tastes like straw and feels funny in my mouth. Always happy to try something new but I would rather grab a top heavy if i could do it over. Aurelius (2507), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 12, 2008 Clear, light orange beer. really nice balance of fruit, hops, malt. Not in-your-face. Pretty good for a standard APA.
